TheBossGolfs: Old Head Golf Links - Day 4 - Ireland
Вставка

- Old Head Golf Links might be the favorite course from this trip. While not the truest definition of Irish Links, Old Head is visually mind-blowing, a lot of fun to play, and an all-around great experience. One course comparison, that is most fitting, is "Pebble Beach on steroids." Old Head feels like playing golf on the edge of the earth. Most of the course is set along the edges of a narrow headland jutting two miles out into the Atlantic Ocean atop 300-foot cliffs. Old Head does not play like traditional Irish links with massive dunes throughout the terrain. Instead, Old Head is more open and exposed, offering gorgeous views from every location on the course. The course struck an outstanding balance between spectacular clifftop holes and engaging inland holes. Old Head is different from most Ireland courses and feels more focused on tourists even though it has a small membership. The Staff helps create an atmosphere typically associated with great American resort courses. Old Head Golf Links is firmly in TheBossGolfs’ all-time top ten courses played and should be on your golf bucket list.
Played there in 2007. Blue sky's and no wind, course was unreal!
Shot an 83 in the fog was a gorgeous course from what I could see
Makes me want to get in the car and drive to Arcadia bluffs right now
“Pebble Beach on steroids” was exactly what I said the first time I played it.
This coarse is only for members only I was there 3 days ago
I have been plus several friends and family. It is a public course with a membership. While expensive it is open to the public.
It's a course in Ireland for Americans, this is what happens all over the world, Americans pay ridiculous rates but don't care, the money doesn't go to the local economy and people who live there lose every way. £500+ for a round of golf is obscene
Magnificent. #ProudMom
Played this course! It was an amazing experience! The views are breathtaking!
Great video as really shows how gorgeous the Old Head is as have played there a couple of times the past decade. Brilliant staff, amazing views and unbelievable course especially when you play along the cliffs. Had a brilliant caddy the last time I was there Dave who was outstanding while had the opposite experience the first time I played there, one of the rudest caddies I have ever had on my bag, Eoin. Anyway brilliant video as brought back some fond memories.
Thank you so much. I would like to play old head golf links.
Try it on a windy day and then tell us it's not a difficult course.
I believe it would be brutal on a windy day. Happy I caught it on a mild day. I also heard it's hard when the fog hasn't burned off.
“Might not be the most challenging “ 🤔. Try it on a wet and windy day.
When did you play there? We were there in late May and it was fantastic, although the weather wasn't quite as nice as you enjoyed.
I played in Early July. The weather has been great for both of my trips (the previous trip in my videos - August). Barely any wind except for one day and only a little misting rain the first day.
@@thebossgolfs That's awesome that you got such good weather. We spent two weeks total in Ireland but over the 270 holes we played on the trip, the rain gear only came out for about 20 holes. Something approaching a hurricane hit on the afternoon we played Dooks but we also saw the temp hit 70 degrees for two days. The wind was ever-present, however. I haven't traveled as much as you have but I have played maybe 70% of the courses you have made videos of and I found Old Head to clearly be the most spectacular course I've ever played. A friend of mine had been there several years before but they had thick fog for the whole round. That would be heartbreaking!
What time of year was this video shot? One course a must to play
Fantastic review and footage , looks like a course you have to play golf and not just smash driver every hole , incredible 👍🏻
Thank you it really is a good course. You can put up a decent score here but like most Irish courses if the wind is blowing its a totally different story.
It was such an amazing course. It's really like nothing I've ever played. The visuals are insane
It truly stands alone
Thank you so much!!! I am going in June and I can't wait.
You are going to love it. Please come back and comment your thoughts about it.
Wow that’s unbelievable.
Beautiful footage of a wonderful course 👍🏻🍀
Hey awesome footage! Would you mind if I borrowed some of your drone clips to use for a trip recap video for my dad? I would only use a few seconds just to introduce the course. It is a simple video and I will not be profiting off your clips. I will also credit you when it is posted to youtube (this is just so my dad can share the link with his buddies who went on the trip). Let me know, thanks!
Sure please tag me and share the video with me as well
Great vid boss
Thank you I appreciate it.
