The golf course at Old Head in Kinsale is arguably the most famous of all the courses in Ireland. People come from far and wide to play this course and if you've ever been lucky enough to see this course it is easy to see why. Built on a 2 20-acre diamond shaped piece of land that juts out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. The course and facilities take up to 180 acres leaving the remaining 40 acres of cliffs to frame the course. Some of the cliffs are as high as 300 feet, which when matched with the high winds that can be generated by the wild Atlantic Ocean, means that on even the calmest of days it makes for spectacular viewing. The course was designed by some of Ireland's great golfing names including Eddie Hackett - former Irish golf professional and golf course designer, as well as Dr. Joe Carr - Ireland's most successful international amateur golfer and a former R&A captain. With the ever-changing sea breezes, the course is set up on a daily basis depending on the prevailing weather conditions. The course provides a stern but fair test to the touring pro and the high handicapper alike.
