Old Head Golf Links is one of the most dramatic and photogenic golf courses on the planet. Set on a narrow headland jutting over two miles into the Atlantic, every hole is shaped by sea cliffs, crashing waves, and panoramic skies. The course opened in 1997, designed by a team including Ron Kirby, Paddy Merrigan, and Joe Carr. What they created is part golf, part theatre. Holes run perilously close to 300-foot cliffs, especially on the par-3s and par-5s. The 4th and 12th hug the edge of the world, while the 17th demands a daring drive over the ocean. Fairways are generous, but mis-hits are punished by steep drop-offs or thick rough. Greens are large and undulating, often exposed to swirling sea winds. It’s a bold, unforgettable experience – best enjoyed without worrying about the score. The course is walking-only, with a caddy adding massive value. Conditioning is immaculate, service is five-star, and the entire setting feels like a cinematic epic. It’s not traditional links, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime round for anyone who loves beauty, scale, and drama.
