Donegal Golf Club

Voted No. 63 - THE UK & IRELAND TOP 100 - Todays Golfers 2010

Donegal Golf Club is on the Murvagh peninsula in Donegal Bay, hence it is generally known as Murvagh. The links is isolated from the outside world by a forest of evergreens washed on one side by the great Atlantic Ocean and by Donegal Bay on the others. It has a panoramic view of the Bluestack Mountains and the beach that runs along the Atlantic border is one of the finest in Ireland.

Donegal has been described as the Muirfield of Ireland, similar in terrain with two loops of nine holes, the first nine an outer loop and the second nine an inner loop running in the opposite direction. At nearly 7,300 yards (championship) this course is long. The serious golfer needs to be at his or her best, while those less serious will still enjoy Donegal as it offers a chance on each hole to win a battle, if not the overall war.

There is no doubting Donegal golf club's claim to be among the best golf courses in Ireland. Premium is placed on pure ball striking and the ever present wind requires thought rather than force. The links offers a great golfing experience, unsurpassed beauty and tranquility that is almost impossible to find in the modern world.
