Established in 1986, this 9-hole course is renowned for its rugged beauty and challenging play . The course is perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, offering panoramic views that are both breathtaking and intimidating. Its signature 6th hole, a 150-yard par-3, requires a precise shot over a yawning cove to a small, cliff-top green, exemplifying the course’s demand for strategic play.
Cruit Island’s natural terrain, with undulating fairways and ever-present coastal winds, provides a pure links experience that challenges golfers of all skill levels. The club is also notable for its progressive history, being one of the first in Ireland to offer full membership to women and electing its first female president, Eileen Oglesby, in 1994 .
