Opened in the 1930’s Narin and Portnoo is a deceptively difficult links. Engagingly old fashioned, this is links in its purist form. No concession has been made to nature. What you get is a routing over and around the dunes with no evidence of man made earthworks to open fairways through this wonderful terrain.
Holes five to fourteen are classics and must rate as simply the most beautiful run of holes to be found anywhere in the country. One great delight is the 9th par 4 elevated tee to Pebble Beach like green set against the Atlantic.

The history of Donegal can be traced back 9,000 years. Still to be seen throughout the countryside are pre-Christian tomb monuments, some form of Viking settlements, and early Christian monuments. Some of the best weavers in the world are located in Donegal, with this craft being passed down for generations.
In Donegal tradition runs deeper, rhythm is stronger, and the water is wilder than any other part in Ireland. With so many magnificent attractions and activities to experience, it is exhilarating and thrilling to take a holiday in this unspoiled environment |
