Opened in 1995, Glashedy Links is Ballyliffin’s modern championship course, created by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock on a grand stretch of Donegal linksland. It runs for 7,542 yards and uses large dune formations to give the course both scale and definition, with broad golfing corridors that still demand precise placement in the wind.Â
The setting feels expansive rather than intimate, and that sense of space is central to its character. Glashedy’s standing was confirmed when it hosted the 2018 Irish Open, bringing tournament attention to one of Ireland’s strongest contemporary links tests. As part of Ballyliffin Golf Club, it sits at Ireland’s northernmost golf club and offers a different examination from the Old Links nearby. For golfers planning a Donegal itinerary, Glashedy brings championship pedigree, modern design and a clear sense of place, rooted in dune terrain that shapes almost every shot and defines the round throughout.
