It is here, where the bays of Sheephaven and Mulroy converge, that a unique experience awaits you. The wild Atlantic waves have chiselled the rugged features of Rosapenna for thousands of years, the beauty is spectacular, the air is invigorating and the welcome that awaits you is warm and sincere. Two stunning links courses await you at Rosapenna - Old Tom Morris and Sandy Hills Links. In 1891, while a guest of Lord Leitrim at his nearby estate, Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews, a winner of four British Opens in the 1860’s, took a drive to enjoy the Donegal scenery. Morris was quick to see the golfing potential of this fine stretch of Donegal coast line and before returning to the home of golf he had staked-out the first Rosapenna Links, incorporating wide rolling fairways amidst the undulating terrain and of course those delightful greens. Sandy Hills, which opened in June 2003, and is set to become one of the most famous golf courses in Ireland. Where Old Tom settled for a course alongside the dunes, Pat Ruddy has gone straight through them from start to finish and created an awesome course that will test any golfer, yet somehow still seduce those that cannot live with it. Each hole is spectacular and the views across the Old Tom Morris course to the ocean will salve all the wounds inflicted by this incredible golf course.
