Glashedy is destined for recognition as one of the world’s finest links. From the championship tees, the Glashedy Links is over 7,000 yards in length and the golfer should be assured that there is no gentle introduction. Opening with 3 mighty par 4’s, the golfer is led away from the clubhouse and deep into the dunes into a world populated by a plethora of riveted (turf stacked) bunkers.

The greens are generally large and full of subtle undulation, while many are two tiered, putting an emphasis on accurate approach shots. It is difficult to pick any signature hole at Glashedy as each has its own charms but the par 3, 7th playing from a height to a green sited 100 feet below, does catch the eye. On the back nine, a tremendous sequence of holes commences with the fiercely doglegging 12th. The long 13th is already being heralded as one of the best par 5’s in Ireland, while the 14th is certainly one of the most seductive short holes in Irish golf. As with all great courses, the 18th is an apt closing hole. The shot to the last must be threaded along a corridor of dunes and between two riveted bunkers miss the green left or right and you may have to display your shot making artistry in front of the overlooking clubhouse. A great end to a wonderful experience!
