Co Sligo Golf Club
Set in the popular resort destination Rosses Point, County Sligo Golf Club is one of Ireland's great Championship Links. Ranked among the top fifty golf courses in Ireland and the UK, County Sligo Golf Club poses, according to Peter Alliss, "a tremendous test for the highest quality player and great fun for the modest competitor."
The first few holes start unassuming enough. By fifth hole Golfers are seduced by the its charms, where after a monstrous drive golfers they descend into a placid valley that, though pastural, offers up plenty of links challenges: tall grass, sea vistas and pot-bunkers. For the next several holes you're far removed from modern stresses and can concentrate on a memorable round of golf.
For more than a century golfers have walked these holes, and Rosses Point certainly carries a distinctive character that comes with age. Over the years Sligo Golf Club has played host to many tournaments and countless legendary players--from Walter Hagen, to Tom Watson, have graced these classic links.
