County Sligo Golf Club (Rosses Point) | Championship Links
Set against Benbulben Mountain and Drumcliff Bay, County Sligo (Rosses Point) is one of Ireland’s most scenic and historic links. Designed by Harry Colt in 1927, it is renowned for its natural flow, strategic bunkering, and sweeping vistas.
The course balances challenge and charm — from wide fairways that invite bold driving to greens that demand precision. Its dramatic routing along the coastline and inland dunes provides variety, culminating in a closing stretch that tests every aspect of the game.
At Cypress & Salt, we pair Rosses Point’s championship pedigree with refined hospitality in Sligo. From luxury manor stays to private Irish music experiences, your County Sligo journey is crafted for both golfers and cultural explorers.
