Ireland Golf Vacation Packages - Rosapenna - Sandy Hills

Par 71, yardage 7,155. Sandy Hills is in many ways the ideal of a modern links. Intended for the serious golfer, its narrow fairways appear constricting from the tee, but the landing areas sculpted from the dunes are deceptively wide. Sandy Hills was designed with championship play in mind, however, don't allow this to deter you as it has a multiplicity of tees to suit all strengths. Above all, the appeal of the course lies in its beautifully balanced routing through the high dunes cloaked in marram grass.

These sandhills bear a striking resemblance to the ones near the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland that form the spine of Royal Portrush, Portstewart and Castlerock. Many of the holes feature elevated tees and greens, with drives into natural bowls on the dune floor.
