Fergal O'Leary
Fergal hails from Dublin, but has been based in the US since 2005. He currently lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He’s a passionate golfer who is hugely respectful of the game's traditions, and the great people who support the game. Fergal completed playing the Top 100 ranked courses in the United States at 28 years of age. In August 2015, aged 32, Fergal became the youngest person (and the first & only Irishman) ever to play the World Top 100 ranked courses. He has a +3 handicap and is a proud member of Portmarnock Golf Club and the 'Global Golf Centurions Club'. Fergal is a panelist with www.top100golfcourses.com, and serves as the United States correspondent on the panel.

The Island GC – there are four brand new holes on the renovated front nine, which has broken up the original flow of 8 par 4s and a par 3 to finish the outward half. The...
Portmarnock GC – often referred to as the great example of links golf in Ireland. No two consecutive holes run in the same direction, and the low sand dunes guarantee the...
Portsalon GC – the rumpled terrain at Portsalon on the Inishowen Peninsula is as natural a setting for links golf as it gets. The par 4 2nd hole is among the most spectac...
Narin & Portnoo – the fact that the club secured Gil Hanse to overhaul the course is incredible on many levels. I was fortunate to play with a member who gave me a lot of...
Donegal GC – after a benign start, the golf course really gets going from the 4th hole as you navigate out the peninsula. The par 3 5th could be among the top 20 short ho...

Any layout that tags the names Bendelow, Ross and Hanse as the architects since 1902 clearly sets itself apart. The clubhouse alone has the designation of a National Hist...
A revered Amateur Championship is played here every year going back decades. Many of the greatest names and winners in the game have played here and won. This might be th...
One of the most thrilling opening tee-shots anywhere in America. From an elevated perch at the back of the clubhouse, you launch your first drive up into the sky with 8 o...
Consistently my favourite course at the resort, and arguably one of Tom Doak’s best original designs in the United States. The second course at Bandon Dunes has certainly...
Compared to my last visit, many of the holes have been “softened” to remove some punishing scenarios, green construction and surrounds. I remember the first time I was at...
The original course at the resort changed the world, especially in America, in 1999. The evolution of the course and its Scottish architect has been substantially documen...
