TheBossGolfs: Donegal Golf Club (Murvagh) - Day 6 (Part II) Hotel: Lough Eske

Описание: Donegal Golf Club, also called Murvagh by members and frequent players, is located on the Murvagh peninsula in Donegal Bay. After my rest day was removed to add the course at St. Patrick’s Links, I decided to add another course because golfers, golf. The Donegal Golf Club is a perfect example of why golf travel should not be guided entirely by golf magazines and popularity. Prolific Irish architect Eddie Hackett designed the Donegal course. It feels more like a fantastic home course than one built only for its thrilling dunes. It has captivating panoramic views of the bay, with the Bluestack Mountains as a scenic backdrop. Hackett created a course that is not only challenging but fun. Famous Irish Architect Patty Ruddy updated the Hackett design. When he did, he built new greens, reshaped fairways, and put some teeth on this great course with added length, five par 5s, and a Par 73 set up. The course has a subtle start, but by hole 5 -- one of my favorite par 3s, the course is in complete form, offering unexpected twists and turns in the terrain. Donegal is an alluringly natural links course. While subtle in its approach, it offers one of the best playing experiences and challenges. Donegal keeps players mentally engaged throughout the rounds with terrain that changes endlessly and forces players to make strategic decisions tee to green.
