County Louth is the annual host of the East of Ireland Amateur Championship, and represents links golf at its very finest. The course is laid out in two loops covering some 190 acres with no two holes running in the same direction - apart from the 12th and 13th which run along the sea.
The 14th hole is regarded as the signature hole - a short par four measuring only 332 yards you can drive all the way to the green or end up taking six or more. The par threes are also superb, and the whole round a golfing treat.
