Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort (St Patrick's Links)

The Rosapenna Golf Resort acquired the St Patrick’s Links in late 2012, a former 36-hole facility developed by the Walsh Family of Carrigart. The Maheramagorgan Links designed by Irish architect Eddie Hackett and the Trá Mór Links designed by PGA Professional Joanne O’Haire, both opened for play in the mid-1990’s.

This course has sprawling links that is destined to become a modern great. It sits on the most magnificent piece of links land - huge scale, west coast of Ireland scenery, with enough variety in dimension to present a real diversity of golf holes. The routing takes golfers on a journey through huge dunes, to high above Sheephaven Bay, along the coast, then back over some more gentle dunes. and that's just the front nine! With plenty of width and an eclectic mix of naturalised bunkers, the course is unlike anything in the UK & Ireland. or anywhere else for that matter.

St Patrick's Links has risen 6 places to a new high of #49 on the GOLF Magazine Top 100 in the World rankings 2023-24 breaking into the World's Top 50 for the first time and into Ireland's famous Top 5. (Royal County Down #6, Royal Portrush #16, Ballybunion #24, Lahinch #37, St Patrick's Links #49 and Portmarnock #59). Doak & team are responsible for 8 of the 25 modern courses on the entire list (last 30 years), more than any other living architect. All 8 Doak designs are included in the Top 12 highest-ranked modern courses on the current list.
