Old Head is quite possibly the most dramatic setting for a golf course anywhere in the world. The promontory that juts out 2 miles into the Atlantic is accessible by a single thoroughfare, and the sandstone below was formed some 350 million years ago.
The remarkable golf course is the creation of a team of divergent experts, including Ron Kirby, Liam Higgins, Dr. Joe Carr, and the late Eddie Hackett. Every single hole at Old Head is an absolutely remarkable experience, and has incredible views of the iconic lighthouse and the surrounding Atlantic.
There cannot really be a signature hole at Old Head, but it is absolutely guaranteed to strike awe into those fortunate enough to visit.
The land itself boasts an amazing history, but for now its main attraction is the golf course, which is quickly establishing itself among the world’s elite. Playing Old Head as part of a Cork Tour will be an unforgettable experience.
