Ballyliffin
About Ballyliffin
Ballyliffin Golf Club occupies a striking coastal setting on the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal, close to Ireland’s northern edge. The club is known for two contrasting championship links, Glashedy Links and The Old Links, whose rumpled fairways, dunes and Atlantic winds make the natural landscape central to the golfing experience. A third course, the nine-hole Pollan Links, offers a shorter par-three alternative within the same dunescape. Both championship links have featured in independent Irish course rankings, and Glashedy hosted the 2018 Irish Open. Visitors can plan multi-course golf, arrange equipment or caddie services and make use of dedicated coaching and practice facilities.
Course Information
Ballyliffin offers two championship links with distinct characters: Glashedy runs through substantial dunes with demanding bunkering, while The Old Links crosses lower, rippling ground with a celebrated coastal finishing stretch. The shorter Pollan Links, designed by Pat Ruddy, adds nine par-three holes with its own wind and bunker challenges. Together the courses provide contrasting ways to play golf in the same natural dune landscape.
