Seapoint
Seapoint offers two distinct sets of holes , right next door to Co . Louth Golf Club . Indeed , Seapoint ’ s closing holes could easily be an extension of the great Baltray links as they back on to each other . The front nine play over sedate terrain , where trees border the course and fairways glide smoothly between low , rolling shoulders of dunes . Gorse plays its part emphasising the importance of accurate driving and the doglegs have to be respected . The turf is tight and while it doesn ’ t quite feel like a links ( the houses don ’ t help ) this is exactly what it is . The back nine ramp up the temperature , introducing the shapes and subtleties that make links golf such fun . The closing four holes , above the beach and through the biggest dunes , are a delicious finale . The 15th and 17th are gorgeous par threes while the par five 18th streaks straight towards the clubhouse and tees off beside the beach .
