St Patrick's Links of Rosapenna Golf Club ranked 11th in Irish Golfer list
Irish golf magazine, Irish Golfer, has declared Rosapenna’s St Patrick’s Links as the best golf course in Donegal.
Rosapenna’s St Patrick’s Links was positioned eleventh, in the magazines list of the Top 100 Golf Courses in Ireland for 2026, which saw Royal Portrush on the Irish north coast come out on top.
Officially opened for play in 2021, Irish Golfer said the course had an “other worldliness” and was “magical stuff” with “sensational” green sites, with “holes rambling through big and broad dunes, leading out to the sea.”
Rosapenna had another entry in Irish Golfer’s Top 100 Golf Courses in Ireland, as its Sandy Hills course placed 30th, and its Old Tom Morris Course was ranked 47th.
The Glashedy Course in Ballyliffin Golf Club was placed second in Donegal and eighteenth in Ireland.
It was described as one of Ballyliffin’s “greatest assets” and tougher than the Old Course, which placed 21st, “because subtle doglegs and tight greenside bunkering make accuracy essential.”

Elsewhere in Donegal, Portsalon was ranked 20th, Narin & Portnoo was placed 29th, Donegal Golf Course rose two positions from last year to be 36th, and North West Golf Course placed 95th.
Altogether, Donegal had nine entries in Irish Golfer’s Top 100 Golf Courses in Ireland, with only Dublin, 13, and Wicklow, 10, having more entries.
