Favourite Hole
How can you not adore a par-4 as short as the 14th - with not one bunker – that will take your breath away .
What ’ s in the Bag ?
The softest of touches around greens is essential .
County Louth ( Baltray )
Co . Louth is one of Ireland ’ s great links , 45 minutes north of Dublin . It has graced this coastline since 1892 , but it is also known for Shane Lowry ’ s heroic victory when he won the Irish Open in 2009 . It does , however , have a long and distinguished history , with its impeccable design embracing old school strategy and finesse . This is especially true with the slopes around the greens , and on the four excellent par threes .

The putting surfaces are sublime and are forever mentioned when Co . Louth is appraised . Today , raised tee boxes help to show off the beauty of the course ’ s holes which typically fall into two types : the subtle and the shapely . The biggest dunes are pressed up against the sea and this is where the most dramatic holes exist , with the renowned run from the 12th to the 16th promising some outstanding thrills . But the run of holes from the 3rd to the 8th is equally good , with deep pockets and sharp ledges testing the best that golfers can throw at them .
