Portmarnock Golf Club is located on a small peninsula which extends itself just briefly southward
into the Irish Sea. Surrounded by water on three sides and laid out in a serpentine fashion,
no two successive holes play in the same direction. Unlike many links courses which play nine
out and nine home, Portmarnock demands a continual discernment of wind direction. Another advantage
of its peninsular location is the absence of humanity. Only open space and long views
of the distant scenery meet the eye, and such should always be the case.
