The golf links is cut off from the outside world by a forest of evergreens washed on one side by the great Atlantic Ocean and by Donegal Bay on the other. It has panoramic views of the Bluestack Mountains in South Donegal and the beach that runs along the Atlantic border is one of the finest in Ireland.\r\n\r\n<strong>T:<\/strong> +353 (0)74 9734054\r\n<strong>W:<\/strong> www.donegalgolfclub.ie\r\n\r\nMurvagh has\u00a0 often been described as the Muirfield of Ireland, comparable in terrain with two loops of nine holes, the first nine an outer loop and the second nine an inner loop running in the opposite direction. At almost 7,300 yards (championship) or 7,000 yards (medal) this course is long.\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a title=\"Holiday Homes in Donegal Town\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/towns\/holiday-cottage-donegal-town.php\">Holiday Homes in Donegal Town<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\nMurvagh offers a genuine challenge to the accomplished golfer and is an all round \u201ctrue\u201d test of golf. Those less serious will still enjoy this wonderful links as it offers a chance on each hole to win a battle, if not the overall war.\r\n\r\n[nggallery id=5]\r\n\r\nBeing one of the longest golf courses in Ireland and Europe, it is ideally suited to big hitters of the ball. The reputation of\u00a0 Murvagh, designed by the legendary course architect Eddie Hackett, has been further enhanced by the new designs of Pat Ruddy.\r\n\r\nContinually featured in Golf Worlds Top 100 Courses in Ireland & Great Britain, this is a real challenge not to be missed. Darren Clarke, one of the heroes of the\u00a0 Ryder Cup held at the K Club, has described Donegal Golf Club as \u201cone of my favourite courses in the World\u201d.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n[mappress mapid=\"161\"]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<strong>Architect:<\/strong> Eddie Hackett \/ Pat Ruddy\r\n<strong>Course Length:<\/strong> 6619m.
