Narin & Portnoo
Stand on the 9th tee and prepare to experience the beauty of Narin & Portnoo … Ireland ’ s beauty … and the Atlantic Ocean . No other tee box in Ireland comes this close to the sea . It is inches away and when you play the enchanting , short and downhill par four 8th there appears to be no room behind the green for the next tee box … but it is there . The 10th promises something similar . Fresh and inspiring , raw and beautiful , this is the essence of Irish links golf . The entire stretch of holes at the farthest end of the course , from the 6th to the 11th , is astounding , with fairway shapes and thrills so natural , so unbelievable that it qualifies as the best stretch of holes in Ireland . And there ’ s some fierce competition for that title . This remote outpost of links brilliance ripples with life and intrigue . There are three back-to-back par fives on the back nine , routed around the ridge of dunes at the heart of the course .
