Although golf was played on property as far back as the 1850s, Portmarnock Links—the resort and course—has always been in the long shadow of its neighbor, the Portmarnock Golf Club.
As of Oct. 3, Portmarnock Links has been rechristened as the Jameson Golf Links at the Portmarnock Resort.
“It’s like a lot of the links courses in St. Andrews where you’re literally walking and playing in history,” says Moira Cassidy, a local historian and the manager of resort experiences.
“Renaming it the Jameson Golf Links, that’s really exciting, because Everyone knows about Jameson whiskey, but not everyone knows about the family and their influence on golf in Ireland,” says Cassidy.
The Fire Pit has been hired to help tell their story. On a visit in July, and as you can see in the short video above, we met with several members of leadership and the staff to better understand the past, present and future of Jameson Golf Links at Portmarnock Resort.

The name changed from the last time I played (the drink stayed the same!). A great course and drink!
