Golf courses
Just minutes from the hotel lies the prestigious Ballyliffin Golf Club, home to two world-class links courses.
The Glashedy Links, designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock in the 1990s, stretches over 7,423 yards and offers a stern test of golf with its dramatic dunes, undulating fairways, and elevated greens. It plays to a par of 72 and has hosted high-profile tournaments, including the 2018 Irish Open.
The Old Links, originally laid out in 1947 and further developed by Ruddy and Nick Faldo, measures 6,937 yards with a par of 71. It offers a more traditional links experience, with rolling terrain and panoramic sea views that challenge and captivate in equal measure.
Accommodation
After a day on the links, sit back in one of the hotel’s elegant rooms. With plush bedding, spacious bathrooms, and modern amenities, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more relaxing location.
Sea view rooms offer stunning vistas over Pollan Bay and the nearby golf courses, providing the perfect end to your day. The hotel’s warm atmosphere ensures a restful night’s sleep, ready for another day on the fairways… or at the spa.
Facilities
The hotel’s full-service Rock Crystal Spa and Leisure Centre is ideal for post-round recovery, featuring a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, and a fully equipped gym.
Indulge in a range of spa treatments designed to rejuvenate tired muscles and calm the mind. Dining is equally impressive, with Jack’s Bar and Restaurant serving locally sourced cuisine, fine wines, and hearty breakfasts to fuel your game.
