Set on the edge of Sheephaven Bay in the heart of County Donegal, Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort is one of Ireland’s most storied and luxurious golfing destinations. With breathtaking Atlantic views, sweeping dunes, and three exceptional links courses, it offers the perfect blend of championship golf and refined relaxation along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Rosapenna is home to three world-class courses that span over a century of golfing heritage. The Old Tom Morris Links, designed in 1893 by the legendary Scotsman himself, carries with it the spirit of early links golf. Over the years, it has been refined by the likes of Harry Vardon, James Braid, and more recently, Pat Ruddy, creating a layout that remains true to tradition while offering an engaging challenge.
The Sandy Hills Links, a modern creation by Ruddy, is carved through towering dunes and is known for its narrow fairways, undulating greens, and stunning elevated tee boxes. It offers a stern test of strategy and shot-making in an unforgettable setting.
Then there is the spectacular St Patrick’s Links, designed by Tom Doak and unveiled in 2021. Routed through some of the most dramatic dunes in Ireland, this course has quickly gained global acclaim, earning a spot among the world’s top 100 courses. Minimalist in design and wild in beauty, St Patrick’s is fast becoming a modern classic and a must-play for links golf aficionados.
Off the course, Rosapenna provides a haven of comfort and class. The four-star hotel features beautifully appointed sea-view rooms and deluxe suites, blending classic elegance with modern amenities. Spacious, quiet, and luxurious, the accommodations are ideal for unwinding after a day on the links.
Dining at Rosapenna is a highlight in its own right. Guests can enjoy locally sourced Donegal seafood, traditional Irish dishes, and international cuisine in the Bayview Restaurant, which offers panoramic views of Sheephaven Bay. For more casual fare or a post-round drink, the James Braid Bar delivers comfort and hospitality in a relaxed setting.
With a state-of-the-art practice facility, warm Irish hospitality, and a serene coastal backdrop, Rosapenna is the perfect destination for both golfers and non-golfing guests looking for a true escape.
