Downings:: A Beach and Golf Resort

The holiday home is a short drive or a leisurely walk into Downing village. This popular family holiday resort is centred around a quaint harbour and a beautiful beach which is a mecca for watersports enthusiasts. Downings is well served with pubs, cafes, and hotels and has the added advantage of an indoor leisure centre.

Just south of Downings is the top class Rosapenna Golf Resort. This golf complex features two championship links courses – The Sandy Hills Course and The Old Tom Morris Course. Both courses are a superb test of links golf. Rospaenna also has a driving range and a pitch and putt course.  Running along the length of the golf links is the superb Tramore Strand – a fabulous 4km long beach.
