I do play golf and yes you should make the trip Donegal Golf Club at Murvagh is an outstanding links masterpiece of a golf course. Designed by the legendary course architect, Eddie Hackett, it is continually featured in Golf World's Top 100 courses in Ireland and Great Britain. Donegal Golf Club was founded in 1959 and the first golf course and clubhouse was built on the edge of Donegal Town at Tullycullion. In the early 70's some far-sighted members identified the links land of the Murvagh Peninsula as being more than suitable for a golf course. The course and new clubhouse was officially opened in 1976. Since then the course has undergone some changes with major remodelling at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 12th, 13th and 14th. The club has all services including range and short game areas as well as food options . Again: use s caddie read more

I played this Murvagh links on a calm sunny day in April (hard to believe), it is nothing short of spectacular, and has raced towards the top of my list of favourite courses. The drive to get to the peninsula brings you down a dead straight tree lined avenue which is about 1.5km long. It opens onto what I would describe as perfect links land. This is billed as one of the longest golf courses in Europe, and the card says it measures around 7,500 yards from the back tees. The information doesn't prepare you for the vastness of this course, the sense of space and being away from it all is joyful. And what a course, it is challenging, fair, and stunning. I highly recommend this course to any golfer! Great welcome in the clubhouse too! read more

First up, I don't play golf. But, I've been told this is a good course, as a nice club house. I have been to the beach right beside the course and I can tell you that it's in a very scenic area, and if you get too hot you can go for a dip. For all you golf fans, you should know that the course was designed by Eddie Haskett: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Hackett read more
