Situated on Ballymastocker Beach in Donegal, Portsalon Golf Club is a scenic gem offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding mountains. Originally designed by Charles Thompson in 1891, with renovations by Pat Ruddy in 2000, the course features elevated tees and dramatic dune-lined fairways. Signature holes include the 500-yard par-4 second, which hugs the estuary, and the downhill par-4 14th, framed by the sea. Though remote, Portsalon is a must-play for its natural beauty and authentic links challenge.
