Not sure which was more amazing, the location or the golf course itself. The course is a real challenge and above my level of golf but I'm still glad we payed. The views as you go around are just stunning. I've never seen anything like them...anywhere! More

If you get a sunny day it's heaven on earth. Birdied the famous 14th hole so of course my review is good. More

The most spectacular golf course in the world. Just enjoy it and don't worry about your game too much... this place can eat you up & spit you out if it wants to. Don't forget to look after your caddy too! More

I played Old Head on a sunny, windy day, and I was awe struck at virtually every turn. Very interesting holes, all are fair from the blue tees. I carried my clubs, sans caddy, and played four ball with a group I met on Facebook. You literally look down 200 ft to the ocean from a narrow path. Greens hold... More

Went for a meal with my wife and two friends. Had a fab meal and service was super. The waiter removed the bones out of the fish at the table. The view is second to none. More
