About the Golf Course:
Seapoint is a beautiful links course on the East Coast of Ireland. The challenge begins from the first tee which embarks onto a testing 7,150 yard Par 72 course set on 260 acres of magnificent links land.
The course was designed by 'Des Smyth' Associates', a combination of the Irish Tour Golfer Des Smyth and Leading Irish Internationalist Declan Branigan. Ideally located only 20 minutes from Dublin Airport and 30 minutes from Dublin - golfers should experience this impressive course on a stunning stretch of coastal land, with breathtaking views of the Mountains of Mourne alongside a sweeping Irish Sea.
Seapoint is certainly one of the most beautiful links courses in the world.
