The Course
The Old Head of Kinsale is a stunning and unique headland near Kinsale in County Cork, reaching out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Here you’ll find the most spectacular world-class golf course – the Old Head Golf Links. The course was the brainchild of the late John O'Connor together with his brother Patrick, and since its opening in 1997 it has earned a reputation as one of the most recognised and sought-after golf experiences anywhere on earth.
The course consists of five par 5s, five par 3s and 8 par 4s – stretching to over 7,300 yards from the tips – with a minimum of 6 tees per hole. 9 Holes play along the cliff tops, and all 18 holes provide stunning ocean views.
