Kinsale
Kinsale is an historic garrison coastal town in County Cork, Southern Ireland. A natural enclosed harbour at the mouth of the Bandon River, it is protected by two ancient fortresses - Charles Fort and James Fort, built in the 17th century. Much of the town's splendid medieval, Georgian and Victorian architecture remains along its maze of narrow streets and on the hillside looking southwards over the entire harbour. Kinsale has, for the most part a unique presence. This picturesque town is an important tourist, yachting, culinary and golfing destination.

Old Head Golf Links Built on a 220-acre diamond of land, jutting out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. The promontory is almost an island with numerous caves running beneath your feet as you play the course. The links and practice area occupy 180 acres and the remaining 40 acres of unspoilt cliff (rising in places to over 300 feet) frame the course. Designed and constructed by a unique team, Ron Kirby - former designer at Jack Nicklaus’s Golf Design Services, Paddy Merrigan - Australian course architect and agronomist, Liam Higgins - one of Ireland’s best known golf professionals currently on the Seniors Tour, the late Eddie Hackett - former Irish golf professional and golf course designer, the late Dr. Joe Carr - Ireland’s most successful international amateur golfer and finally, Haulie O’Shea – building contractor. Old Head, par 72, comprises of five Par 5s, five Par 3s and eight Par 4s – stretching to over 7,200 yards from the tips, with a minimum of six tees per hole. Nine holes play along the cliff tops, and all eighteen holes provide stunning ocean views. With the ever-changing sea breezes, the course provides a stern test to the touring pro and the high handicapper alike. Kinsale Golf Club Designed by architect Jack Kenneally and recently constructed, this challenging 18 hole course is also beautifully situated, this time in the meadowlands of the Bandon River valley, just two miles north of Kinsale. The landscape has been utilised to its maximum and the planting of a large number of hardwood trees will in time add to its playing strategy. 6,609 yards long and consisting of two loops, the course starts and finishes at the Clubhouse, situated on the highest point of the course. The first hole maximises the roll of the land, initially eastwards towards the boundary of the old Cork to Kinsale railway line and the refurbished station-house. There are many more clubs near by in the Cork area.
