The holes worth the trip
Seapoint opens on flatter, more parkland feeling ground inland before working its way out toward the sea, and it is the closing stretch along the dunes beside Seapoint beach that gives the course its bite and its beauty. The further you go the more it feels like the real thing, with humpy fairways, the Cooley and Mourne Mountains across the bay and the wind off the Irish Sea to reckon with.
There is plenty of length from the back markers, so it rewards the strong player, but the fairways are generous enough that the higher handicapper can enjoy the day rather than survive it, which is exactly the balance a good resort links should strike. The greens are large and honest, and the run home into the breeze gives the card its final test.
Add the proximity of County Louth at Baltray, one of the finest links in Ireland, on the very next dune, and Seapoint becomes a clever, good value way to spend a second day on ground most golfers never get to play.
