Sandy Hills Golf Course overview

Very much the younger but tougher sibling of the original Old Tom Morris layout at Rosapenna, the Sandy Hills Links is a full-blooded Pat Ruddy design (famed for The European Club). Opened in 2003, this classic out-and-back links cuts through towering dunes and is constantly undulating, with nasty greenside pot bunkers and fast greens.

At close to 7200 yards off the tips, Sandy Hills is a great test of golf with spectacular scenery overlooking Sheephaven Bay and is consistently ranked amongst Ireland’s top 50 courses.

Signature Holes

There are so many fantastic holes on this course with the best stretch between the 6th and 13th.

Pat Ruddy was born in 1945 in Ballina, County Mayo. The many great Irish courses that he has designed or remodelled include Ballyliffin, Donegal, and Connemara, which are all along the country’s northwest coastline known as the Wild Atlantic Way. He lives at The European Club south of Dublin and is continuously upgrading that gem even today.
