Royal Dublin
Founded in 1885 , Royal Dublin is Ireland ’ s oldest links . Its clubhouse sums up the quality and history embraced by the traditional outand- back routing at one end of Bull Island .
There are no big dunes here – this is about the natural twists and turns that make bumpand- run links golf a joy to play . Low , subtle and often narrow fairways lead into exceptional greens … but be warned : the bunkers may prove your undoing . You can expect a windy assault when you reach the turn for the prevailing winds that made the front nine play benignly can hit you hard all the way home . Low struck shots may be the only way to play this back nine .
Why not take inspiration from the plaque beside the 16th tee , where Christy O ’ Connor Senior started one of the greatest finishes in Irish golf , playing the last three holes in five under par to win the Carrolls International in 1966 .
