Balbriggan
Balbriggan Golf Club was formed in 1945 (on the day that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima) and golfers played here on a 9-hole layout until sufficient land became available to expand to an 18-hole course some forty years later.
More adjacent fields were purchased, allowing the club to develop the course further and, in 1999, Pat Ruddy redesigned a couple of holes. Not content with this, the club called in Eddie Connaughton a decade later to upgrade the layout and he installed several water hazards and reconstructed greens and tees to USGA specification.
Balbriggan’s tree-lined fairways – many of them doglegged – are laid out on pleasantly undulating terrain and the run from the 13th to the last is very good with elevated tee positions and raised greens offering great variety over the closing holes.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
