Founded: 1891 - Course Architect: Tom Morris and Pat Ruddy

The hands of golfing greats have shaped and moulded the golf links at Rosapenna. 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 coastline and he staked out the first Rosapenna Links.

A full century later Frank Casey, today’s owner of Rosapenna, dreamed a dream, a second 18 hole golf links in the dunes overlooking the Old Tom Morris masterpiece. He entrusted the realisation of this dream to Pat Ruddy who's mastery of links design is matched only by his knowledge and enthusiasm for the game of golf.

Rosapenna Golf Links is a combination of natural links and inland holes which stand on a peninsula between two lovely bays. The first ten holes play along Sheephaven Bay between the beach and a range of tall sand dunes. The last eight play inland and uphill in meadow where the high grounds present distracting and delightful views.

Rosapenna Golf Links is now home to two of the finest courses to be found, The Old Tom Morris Links and the new Sandy Hill Links.
