About
Rosapenna Hotel and Golf Resort is a jewel on Ireland’s northwest coast, offering one of the country’s most prestigious golfing escapes.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Sheephaven Bay in County Donegal, this family-owned resort is celebrated for its exceptional hospitality, stunning coastal setting, and legendary links golf.
With direct access to two championship courses and panoramic ocean views, Rosapenna is the perfect location for your next Irish golf break.
Golf courses
Rosapenna boasts two outstanding links courses that each deliver a distinct yet equally exciting experience.
The Old Tom Morris Links, named after the iconic Scottish architect who first laid out the course in 1893, has been enhanced over the years and now plays to a par of 71 across 6,854 yards. It weaves between dunes and shoreline with a blend of classic design and natural flow.
The Sandy Hills Links, designed by Pat Ruddy and opened in 2003, is a modern masterpiece — tighter, more dramatic, and stretching to a formidable 7,255 yards with a par of 72. Elevated tees, bold bunkering, and sweeping sea views make for a thrilling, true links test that rewards confident shot-making.
Accommodation
The hotel boasts elegant, coastal-inspired rooms and suites, many with sea or golf course views.
Designed with rest and relaxation in mind, each space features soft furnishings, rich textures, and all the comforts expected of a luxury stay.
Whether you’re relaxing after a day on the dunes or waking to sunrise over the Atlantic, Rosapenna’s accommodation is as calming as its surroundings.
Facilities
Guests can enjoy a warm Donegal welcome paired with refined service throughout the resort. The Vardon Restaurant offers locally sourced cuisine in an elegant setting overlooking the bay, while the James Braid Bar provides a more relaxed atmosphere for post-round drinks.
The resort also features a spa and leisure centre, complete with pool and treatment rooms — ideal for unwinding after a day on the links.
