Rosslare Golf Links Co Wexford

Rosslare Golf Links is the hidden gem of Irish Links Golf Courses. Situated in the sunniest part of the country, on the extreme south-east coast, it stands on a narrow peninsula with the Irish sea on one side and the huge expanse of Wexford harbour on the other.

The Links at Rosslare is a very fair test and laid out in a true traditional links style, with seven holes out along the coast and the remaining holes back many running parallel on this sandy stretch of land. Although not an overly long course (6702 yards) by modern standards the coastal winds can make this course play differently every day.

Located in the sunny south east the links tends to play firm and fast most of the year round. It is a relatively flat links but does offer its share of run offs, undulations, pot bunkers and blind shots as is in keeping with links style golf. Every hole has its own identity and there is a great mixture of long and short par 4s , reachable par 5s and tough par 3s!! This par 72 with four par 5s and four par 3s offers something special for golfers of all abilities.

With the sound of the waves, fresh sea breeze and the beautifully conditioned links you are sure to enjoy your days golfing at Rosslare Golf Links.

The dog-leg par 4 first begins a round that has many golfing highlights, the par 5 seventh, the famous “Barber’s Pole” index 1 par 4 eleventh, the short par 4 thirteenth and the devilish par 4 sixteenth eventually leading to the long narrow eighteenth are just some of the highlights

The backdrop of water and dunes makes for an exhilarating vista and wind play’s a major part in the intricacies of this Hawtrey and Taylor designed layout. Probably the driest golf course in Ireland it is practically unheard of for the course to be closed due to bad weather.
