Co. Louth Golf Club - Baltray
Course: Links
Length: 7,031 yards
Par: 72
Located at Baltray, formerly a fisherman’s village at the
mouth of the River Boyne, north of the medieval town of
Drogheda, Co Louth Golf Club was established in 1892.
The golf course sits on a 190 acre site of seaside links
terrain and has built a reputation of being one of the finest
and most enjoyable courses in Ireland. The present layout
remains largely unchanged from the design laid out by
renowned course architect Tom Simpson in 1938.
The course has two nine hole loops. A remarkable feature
of the layout as it winds its way through the dunes is that
the player seldom feels that any two holes play in exactly the
same direction.
Consistently ranked among the Top 10 courses in Ireland,
this classic Links has hosted many top amateur and
professional events, most notably the Irish Open in 2014
and 2019.
