The original course was laid out by the great Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews in 1891. Harry Vardon and James Braid both journeyed to Rosapenna in the early 1900s to add length and bunkering, wisely leaving Morris’s perfect greens intact. Rosapenna’s Old Tom Morris Course remains very much as it has been for the past century — a standing tribute to the superb design work of those old masters. Go here anticipating a piece of historic golf magic, and you won’t be disappointed.
As with most good links courses, the Old Tom Morris course takes advantage of natural terrain to provide a classic links golf challenge.
The front nine play inland and around the coastguard hill and offer superb vistas over Mulroy Bay.
The back nine holes which are classic links run between the ocean and the high dune ridge in what is known locally as “The Valley” finishing infront of the Golf Pavilion. Though the Old Tom Morris Course measures only 6,450 yards from the back tees there are, on this par 70 layout, no fewer than six two-shotters in the 400-yards-plus category.
