Old Head
Golf and romance are not normally associated, but this course is in such a fairytale setting it will have even the most macho souls swooning. The diamond shaped promontory juts out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s been the site of countless shipwrecks and you can still see ruins of old lighthouses and of an old tower house. Nine of its 18 holes are played along the cliffs edge, where whales and dolphins often frolic below... And the course is an excellent and worthy challenge for all golfers, no matter what their level of expertise!
Directions :
Drive out of Kinsale town and follow the signs for Bandon and Garrettstown until you come to a bridge at the end of town. Cross the bridge, following the road around to the right. Old Head is signposted from here and is approx 12km in distance.
