About the Course

Construction of the new St Patrick's Links at Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort began in April 2018, with Tom Doak's lead associate Eric Everson working alongside Clyde Johnson and Angela Moser to complete the build. The course opened in 2020 amid extraordinary dunes on the Rosguill Peninsula in north-west Donegal, framed by Sheephaven Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. With towering sand hills, natural corridors, and hole locations that appear almost sculpted by nature rather than by design, St Patrick's Links has quickly been recognised as one of the finest new links courses built in decades. The property also has the Sandy Hills Links, giving Rosapenna two outstanding courses.
