The Old Head of Kinsale


If you have yet to play golf on the Emerald Isle then this is the place to start. On The Old Head of Kinsale just south of Cork there is thee most spectacular golf course. Despite not having held a major golf tournament this course has golfers from all over the world travelling to play it. Quite simply a stunning location on the South Coast of Ireland and a great golf course layout. The facilities are top notch and the Irish welcome and service is first class. Old Head is consistently on a par with the likes of Pebble Beach golf resort and The Old Course Hotel and Resort St Andrews. This year the weather was so good you would be mistaken for thinking it was the south of France. We had three days of near perfect blues skies and enjoyed playing on Fota Island, Old Head and Bantry Bay. The standard of golf was surprisingly high but the eventual winner of the three day event was Nick Wright, see below. A well deserved recipient of The Ziggy Trophy, well done. The next event will be in Biarritz on August 30th. Will


 

 360 degree views that leave you awestruck. And a great golf course.



Clubhouse heaven. Sit back and enjoy the view, maybe with a clam chowder and a pint of Guinness.

Rooms fit for presidents and major winners. Bill Clinton and Nick Faldo have stayed here whilst visiting Ireland.
