Donegal Golf Club is located on Murvagh Peninsula in Donegal Bay, not far from Donegal Town in the north of Ireland. The course officially opened in 1976 and is considered one of Ireland's finest.
The Bluestack Mountains serve as a backdrop for the links, and Donegal Bay and the northwest Atlantic Ocean bracket the peninsula. The on-course views match the off-course in many places around the links, which plays through tall, golden fescue and dunes.
Donegal Golf Club is undoubtedly one of the best in the North West and is continually rated in the top 20 courses in Ireland. This Murvagh masterpiece is often described as the Muirfield of Ireland with similar terrain and loops of nine design.
At nearly 7,300 yards from the championship tees, this course is long. The serious golfer needs to be at his or her best, while those less serious will still enjoy. Premium is placed on pure ball striking and the ever present wind requires thought rather than force. It may leave you battle-scarred, but the memory of battles won will leave you with that satisified feeling unique to links golf.
