This
modern hotel boasts a classical seaside links course, designed by Bernhard
Langer, set on 180 acres and located only 15 minutes by road from Dublin
Airport.
The ancient 12th century church of the local saint, St. Marnock, stands
on the verge of this beautiful new 18-hole course, with stunning views
of Martello Tower and the twin green offshore islands of Lambay and Ireland's
Eye. Overlooking the course is the former Jameson (of whiskey fame) family
home, now carefully redeveloped into a hotel, where elegance, style and
tradition are tastefully blended to create perfect harmony.
The hotel now boasts over 100 luxury bedrooms, a superbly appointed first-class
restaurant, bars and full conference and function facilities. Whether
on business, holidays, golfing, relaxing, walking, yachting or driving,
the lovely Portmarnock flora and magical scenery are a never-ending source
of delight. The Links, as it’'s known, with its views and splendid credentials
has everything a golfer could wish for.
The most apt description of the course at The Links, was offered by Bill
Robertson in 'Todays Golfer', when he said: "The Links Portmarnock
is like looking at an old painting after it has been restored: The colours
appear fresh and rich, with the bunkers sharp and well defined. And you
find yourself wondering if this is how the great historical links courses
like St. Andrews would have looked just after the final piece of turf
had been laid in place".
ROOMS: 103 en-suite
bedrooms including 6 suites. Each guestroom offers either a view of the
sea or the golf course. All are furnished to the highest standards and
every modern convenience ensures maximum comfort for each guest.
