Jameson Golf Links Portmarnock
When Portmarnock Links changed its name to Jameson Golf Links , it ushered in a new era of its evolution , one that embraced more of its history . That wasn ’ t the only change – far from it – as new ownership instigated significant upgrades to the course , hotel and facilities . This is the full golf package and one so close to Dublin Airport that you often get a spectacular view of it from the plane . The course is routed over bumpier terrain than its famous neighbour , despite their proximity , and that introduces the joy of unpredictability . Smart routing ensures that players get a warmup over the gentler dunes first , thus presenting an opportunity to appreciate the tricky and muscular green complexes as well as the large , lavish putting surfaces . Wind or no wind , this is where the constant challenge lies .
The recent renovations saw six holes being re-routed , with new greens , tees , fairways and bunkers . Golfers will now enjoy more views of the sea , two thrilling new par threes and not one but two Biarritz greens .
The changes are dramatic and the links has grown from a par 71 to par 72 . The final piece of the puzzle , completed in 2024 , is the excellent risk vs reward par-4 17th .
