County Louth Golf Club
The course has two nine hole loops. A remarkable feature of the layout as it winds its way through the dunes is that players seldom feel that any two holes play in exactly the same direction.
Gentlemen have the option of testing their skills from a number of different teeing areas, ranging from Championship Blue tees (7,031 yards) Medal/White Tees (6,716 yards) and the more benign Green Tees (6,338 yards), while the Ladies course, played from the Red tees, presents a strong challenge at 5,873 yards.
