The European Club

The layout meanders through massive dunes, with fairways framed by indigenous gorse and heather. The European Club features undulating fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and slick, contoured greens that demand precision and thoughtful play. The European Club is distinguished by its long, narrow fairways and the constant presence of the Irish Sea breeze, which adds an extra layer of challenge. The links are designed to test the skills of seasoned golfers while remaining enjoyable for players at all levels. With its breathtaking scenery, challenging layout, and the personal touch of Pat Ruddy's design, the European Club offers a unique and memorable links experience that ranks among the best in Ireland and beyond.
