Rosapenna Golf Club

Rosapenna Golf Club is a hidden Championship links course situated on the dramatic northwestern coast of County Donegal in the remote village of Downings. Established in 1893, Rosapenna combines historic links pedigree with spectacular natural beauty and authentic Irish character, and today features three distinct courses: St Patrick’s Links (ranked #44 in Golf Magazine’s Top 100), Sandy Hills Links, and the Old Tom Morris Links. The courses feature dramatic dune terrain, strategic routing, and constant Atlantic Ocean views throughout. Known for its warm welcome and Championship conditioning, Rosapenna delivers an unforgettable links experience for golfers seeking authentic Championship golf away from the crowds. This is a genuine gem for those willing to venture to Ireland’s most remote and rewarding golf destination.
