Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort (Sandy Hills Links)
Links Course in Downings, Ireland
The Sandy Hills Links at Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort is an 18-hole, par 71 links course located in Downings, County Donegal, Ireland. Designed by Pat Ruddy and Frank Casey Snr, with later revisions by Beau Welling, it opened in 2003. The course is known for its challenging routing through wild dunes and is considered one of Ireland's finest modern links. Measuring up to 7,255 yards from the tips, it was designed with championship play in mind but offers multiple tees to suit different skill levels. Precision is key on this course, with narrow fairways and elevated greens. Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort offers on-site lodging, a restaurant, and other amenities including a practice putting green and driving range. Non-guests are welcome to play the course.
