A golfer who would like to get off the beaten path, would like to play an old-fashioned links course with an overwhelmingly natural feel.
Opened in 1930, Narin & Portnoo is engagingly old-fashioned, with a meandering routing over and around the dunes. The course has recently been re-developed and the new par 73 layout offers a range of teeing areas and challenges to suit all golfers.
All manner of shots are required here: draws around sharp dog-legs; crisp irons to par threes over cavernous terrain; accurate tee shots down snake-like fairways, some wide and some not so generous; low trajectory shots into the Atlantic breezes; high shots down-breeze into raised and firm greens; chip and run shots over the mounds and dips. Throughout the adventure, all are captivated by the scenery and once experienced, it’s a course to which golfers return again and again.
A warm and friendly welcome awaits visitors and societies to Narin and Portnoo Golf Club and due to its links terrain, it is ideal for year-round golf.

“I can only speak for myself but it was a trip of a lifetime. Pioneer Golf did such a wonderful job getting us places to stay (with views of St. Andrews’ first and last holes, or was that just Bill and I?), courses to play, and a great bus.”
