Portmarnock	http://www.portmarnockgolfclub.ie

The European Club	http://www.theeuropeanclub.com	Played - AMAZING! This is one of the tos cources in ireland and has three holes that rank in thetop 100 in the world. A great experience. Hope to play it again befor I leave.

Lahinch (Old Course)	http://www.lahinchgolf.com

Baltray (Co. Louth)	http://www.countylouthgolfclub.com

Ballyliffin Golf Club (Old Course)	http://www.ballyliffingolfclub.com	Played - We were fortunate enough to have the starter send us out on the old course first before the Glashedy links course. A true test of links golf with undulating fairways and tricky greens.

Ballyliffin (Glashedy Links)	http://www.ballyliffingolfclub.com	Played - Designed by Nick Faldo, this is the newer championship course at Ballyliffin. Still a great links course but different from the Old course in that the fairwyas do not have as many undulations and the greens were a lot softer.

Waterville	http://www.watervillegolf.com

County Sligo Golf Club	http://www.countysligogolfclub.ie

The Island	http://www.theislandgolfclub.com

Donegal Golf Club (Murvagh)	http://www.donegalgolfclub.ie/index.html	Played - Great course. Very challenging layout. Was the first course that we played on my 40th birthday outing.

The Royal Dublin Golf Links	http://www.theroyaldublingolfclub.com

Portmarnock Links	http://www.portmarnock.com/	Played - Great links course. My good friend Steve from Kirkland came over to Dublin prior to going to Italy with our family. We went out with a couple of irish lads and had a mini ryder cup. I am happy to say that the US won!!

K Club	http://www.kclub.ie

Druids Glen	http://www.druidsglen.ie	Played - Went out for a member guest tournament with a mate from work. Great course. On the back nine it really rained and was windy on top of that. Difficult down the home stretch.

Rosapenna Golf Links (Sandy Hills)	http://www.rosapennagolflinks.ie	Played - When we left Ballyliffin one of the members said that he though that the Snadyhills course was not nearly as tough as either at Ballyliffin. I don't know what he was thinkng. Sandyhills was a true test with tight fairways and tough greens.

Rosapenna Golf Links (Old Tom Morris)	http://www.rosapennagolflinks.com	Played - Established in the 1890's by Tom Morris who designed St. Andrews. This was the second course at Rosapenna. A bit easier than the Sandyhills course, but with bunkers placed in all the right places. Atleast where my balls were going!

Headfort Golf Club	http://www.headfortgolfclub.ie	Played New Course - Both the new course and old course are ranked as top courses in Ireland. unfortunately there was a tournament over the weekend and we did not get to play the old course. Hope to get back.

St. Annes Links	http://www.stanneslinksgolf.com	Played - One of my mates here in Dublin, has a mate here ho is a membr. Have now played it 3 times. Great links course and great group of lads to play golf with.
