Jameson Golf Links is a superb choice for an Ireland golf holiday, especially for UK golfers looking for classic links golf with easy access to Dublin. Set within Portmarnock Resort on the historic Jameson Estate of St. Marnocks, the course sits beside the famous Velvet Strand coastline, just 15 minutes from Dublin Airport. That makes it ideal for a short golf break, a long weekend, or the opening round of a wider Irish links itinerary.

The 18-hole links course was designed by Bernhard Langer in association with Stan Eby of European Golf Design. Spread across 203 acres, it weaves through natural dunes, with elevated tees and greens, doglegs, blind approaches and coastal wind all shaping the challenge.

For golfers, Jameson Golf Links is playable but far from easy. The course measures 6,442 metres and plays to a par 71, with firm-running fairways, strategic bunkering and seaside conditions that reward careful club selection. It has also hosted professional and amateur events, including the Ladies Irish Open and the Irish Challenge, giving it genuine tournament pedigree.

The wider location adds plenty to the trip. Dublin city centre is close enough for restaurants, pubs, culture and nightlife, while nearby courses such as Portmarnock Golf Club, The Island and Royal Dublin help create a brilliant east coast Ireland golf break. For golfers wanting links golf, coastal scenery and easy travel from the UK, Jameson Golf Links is a very strong option.
