Resort Overview

Links golf is full of spectacular sites. Old Head puts most of ‘em to shame. The ocean views, the dramatic cliffs, the black-and-white lighthouse in the fog — once you’ve set foot on this site, you’ll never forget it. Pair a round on Old Head’s terrific links with a stay in its on-site suites and you’re experiencing Ireland at its very finest.
