The Island
This is a links course of infinite variety and intrigue. Every hole is
different, yet each one bursts with shape and drama. Nowhere is this
more apparent than on the opening run of eight consecutive par
fours. They entertain and challenge in equal measure by combining
long and short holes with blind shots, big dunes, ridges, hollows
and the unexpected – the 5th and 8th most notably. You will be
absorbed right from the opening tee shot, driving towards the
distant sea and Ireland’s Eye. The back nine are even better as you’re
drawn out to the sea for the second time. And this is where you’ll
enjoy some of the history of the course, with the 11th named Cricket
Field (after Grace, the famous English cricketer) and the 14th tee box
being the original foundation for the clubhouse. History, though,
should be left till later as The Island tests the very soul of your
golfing prowess, while thrilling you step after magical step.
