DG IRELAND TOP150 – 2024

ROSSLARE GOLF LINKS

Editor, Kevin Markham

Rosslare Golf Links sits alone on the south-east tip of the island, a low, fast links streaking over sweet and subtle fairways into some deeper dunes. It is all on show but you can be sure of hidden hollows, unpredictable humps and deceptive approaches to greens.

The course sits on a narrow peninsula so all but two holes head out or back, meaning wind is a very real factor when you turn for home (the 8th). The terrain is used brilliantly, nowhere more so than the long par four 11th. This is the hardest hole on the course, typically playing into the wind. A good drive will still leave a blind approach over a large ridge sliding across from the right.

A red and white pole offers directions to a sunken green but it is always a daunting shot. The stretch of holes from 4 to 7 is magical. This is where you’ll find the most shape and the most deception. ‘If only I knew’ you’ll say, walking off each of the four holes.
The hollow in front of the 5th green and the blind tee shot on the enigmatic par-4 6th will leave you reeling… and smiling. And the par-5 7th is a thing of beauty.

Favourite Hole
The par five 7th is a beauty. It hugs the dunes next to the sea
and curves low and right, to a green on an incline. Two (or
three) delicious shots are required to reach it.
What’s in the Bag?
A head for low links golf and controlling the ball. It often
feels open… but that’s one of Rosslare’s traps.
