Day 3 – Enniscrone
Known for its high dunes and a few blind tee shots you have to be good off the tee at Enniscrone to build a score. A caddie is certainly advised here due to the number of blind shots, its always best to have someone by your side that knows where they are going !

Day 5 – Narin & Portnoo
Probably the course on the Itinerary you would call a “hidden gem” Narin & Portnoo is quickly loosing that tag as more and more golfers are making the trip to see the new and improved world class links land of Narin & Portnoo. Having recently undergone a massive re design from Gil Hanse Narin & Portnoo has some of the quirkiest holes on the Itinerary. That combined with its playability makes it a must for any Northwest Itinerary !

Day 6 – Sandy Hills
Today its time to batten down the hatches as you play the challenging Sandy Hills. An incredibly demanding course off the tee its a necessity to be accurate and desirable to be long but I guess when isn’t it !. Despite its challenging nature Sandy Hills is an exceptional course and offers something very different to its siblings Old Tom & St. Patrick’s.

Day 7 – St. Patricks
What better way to finish the trip than to play world top 50 ranked St. Patrick’s Links. An incredible achievement to be ranked so high considering The Tom Doak Masterpiece only opened in 2021. A little more forgiving off the tee than Sandy Hills, St. Patrick’s is superb from start to finish and will only continue to climb course ranking lists as it ages. The real question is how high will it go !
