Designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock, it has been laid out on mostly higher ground above and beyond the Old Links.The views from both courses are breath-taking. Glashedy  – named after Ballyliffin’s own “Ailsa Craig  – measures over 7,000 yards from the Championship tees with large undulating greens, deep bunkers and fairways that twist and roll between towering dunes. The challenge presented by the Glashedy Links is almost as formidable as it is exciting. The Old Links is a classically old style links. It exudes charm, character and curiosity in equal measure.
