Seapoint Golf Links
Seapoint Golf Links, located near Termonfeckin in County Louth and only minutes from Dublin Airport is a hidden gem among the country's links courses, offering a pure and challenging golfing experience along the Irish Sea coastline. Designed by Des Smyth, a former Ryder Cup player, and Declan Brannigan, the course was officially opened in 1993 and has since matured into a distinguished test of links golf, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape. It is characterized by traditional links features, including undulating fairways, deep pot bunkers, and slick, fast greens that are influenced by the ever-present sea breeze. The natural terrain of dunes and grassy hillocks provides both a scenic backdrop and a strategic challenge, requiring golfers to exhibit precision and creativity in their shot-making.
Seapoint's layout offers a balanced mix of holes, with the front nine winding through more open land and the back nine navigating through larger dunes, providing a variety of challenges and vistas. Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding an extra layer of difficulty and requiring careful navigation. The course has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including the Irish PGA Championship, showcasing its quality and challenge on a national stage. Despite its championship credentials, Seapoint is accessible to golfers of all skill levels, offering multiple tee options to accommodate different playing abilities. Seapoint Golf Links represents a blend of challenge, beauty, and tradition, and an authentic links experience in Ireland. Its combination of strategic design, natural beauty, and hospitable atmosphere makes it a cherished destination for golfers from around the world. Seapoints final three holes will remain in the memory for all the right reasons.
