County Sligo Golf Club
Described by Peter Alliss as "a tremendous test for the highest quality player and great fun for the modest competitor", the club has hosted most of Ireland's major championships in its long and venerable history. Three large beaches beneath the cliffs keep the Atlantic at bay to the west of the course, while towering Benbulben competes with the ocean for scenic splendour on the land side. The wind from the sea is a constant factor but the 3rd, 5th, 10th and 14th holes have very satisfying downhill drives to compensate. Venue of Home Internationals, 1991.
