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.
