North West
Links subtlety and ingenuity might be the only words you need to
sum up this gem on the Inishowen peninsula. Nearby Ballyliffin may
receive all the plaudits but North West has something different
and special in its make-up… and that dates back to a bygone age of
golf course design, as 2016 sees the club celebrating 125 years. The
terrain here is low and bumpy… idiosyncratic and unpredictable… and
perfect for what links golf is all about. Use your brain and you can
play well here, but given the occasional invisible hollow and semiblind approach, not to mention the speed and natural undulations
to greens, you need to play sharp golf from start to finish. Lastly,
North West may look flat from the road but you’ll quickly discover
that every hole is brimming with character.
