Overview
Rosslare Golf Links sits on a narrow strip of burrow land between the Irish Sea and Wexford Harbour, in Ireland's sunny south-east. The Old Course, extended to 18 holes in 1926 to a design by Hawtree & Taylor, still follows its original routing and is regularly ranked among Ireland's Top 100 courses.
At 6,702 yards and par 72, with four par 5s and four par 3s, it is not long by modern standards, but the firm, fast turf, pot bunkers, run-offs and the odd blind shot demand thought rather than power. Seven holes run along the coast before the course turns for home, and the signature 7th is a 555-yard par 5 exposed to the wind.
Next door, the Burrow Links is a 12-hole executive course designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr, with sea views and a flat €35 green fee all year. On the Old Course, 2026 visitor fees are €90 on weekdays and €135 at weekends from April to October, dropping to €60 and €80 in winter.
The La Vista Café & Restaurant is open to visitors, and the pro shop is run by Head PGA Professional Jamie O'Sullivan.
