About
The 220 acre site of five par 3’s, five par 5’s and eight par 4’s is configured as two returning loops of nine holes.
Eight of the holes play directly along the cliff tops, providing an exhilarating test of golf and concentration. On a fine day, the Old Head can actually accommodate a fairly low return but the vagaries of the Atlantic winds ensure that the course offers a different challenge every day.
