Verified Fabulous Courses
Played both courses in beautiful weather this week. Great and very different layouts....one traditional using natural terrain and the second a modern links sculpted from the landscape. Both courses challenging and beautifully presented. Very good fairways, greens and bunkers. Rough is tough so don't go there! Overall, a great golf destination. Verified Wow
We played the Old Links twice and Glashedy and loved every minute of it. Both courses are in fantastic condition and I doubt I will ever find a better links design than Glashedy (and I have played most of them in Ireland). Top marks to all staff at Ballyliffin GC, you are a credit to the Club. Verified 80th Birthday Bash
We had our mum's 80th Birthday Party here recently and it was beyond our expectations.We had a sit down 3 course meal for about 70 people and it was absolutely gorgeous.Everyone really enjoyed the food.Angelo and his staff were so attentive and really made it a special night for our mum.We had a lovely lady called Kaz Hunter playing music in the bar after the meal and we all enjoyed a little dance and a few drinks to finish off the celebrations.I would highly recommend Michael Angelos Restaurant for a family function as you will not be disappointed Verified In my top 3
2nd visit to Donegal this year. Last time I played rosapenna and this time both courses in Ballyliffin and no rain in 8 rounds !!! Unreal scenery and 2 class courses- I prefer the Old Links but most of party prefer Glasedy. Definitely going back as sooo impressed with the setup. Donegal people are absolutely class and so welcoming. A long drive so give yourself time. Go to Nancy's Barn for chowder. Ballyliffin should sell photos from out on the courses and I would have bought them- great golf prizes too. Verified Group LOVED it

Verified Fabulous Courses
Played both courses in beautiful weather this week. Great and very different layouts....one traditional using natural terrain and the second a modern links sculpted from the landscape. Both courses challenging and beautifully presented. Very good fairways, greens and bunkers. Rough is tough so don't go there! Overall, a great golf destination. Verified Wow
We played the Old Links twice and Glashedy and loved every minute of it. Both courses are in fantastic condition and I doubt I will ever find a better links design than Glashedy (and I have played most of them in Ireland). Top marks to all staff at Ballyliffin GC, you are a credit to the Club. Verified 80th Birthday Bash
We had our mum's 80th Birthday Party here recently and it was beyond our expectations.We had a sit down 3 course meal for about 70 people and it was absolutely gorgeous.Everyone really enjoyed the food.Angelo and his staff were so attentive and really made it a special night for our mum.We had a lovely lady called Kaz Hunter playing music in the bar after the meal and we all enjoyed a little dance and a few drinks to finish off the celebrations.I would highly recommend Michael Angelos Restaurant for a family function as you will not be disappointed Verified In my top 3
2nd visit to Donegal this year. Last time I played rosapenna and this time both courses in Ballyliffin and no rain in 8 rounds !!! Unreal scenery and 2 class courses- I prefer the Old Links but most of party prefer Glasedy. Definitely going back as sooo impressed with the setup. Donegal people are absolutely class and so welcoming. A long drive so give yourself time. Go to Nancy's Barn for chowder. Ballyliffin should sell photos from out on the courses and I would have bought them- great golf prizes too. Verified Group LOVED it
Group LOVED it. Scenery is spectacular, lovely club house, lovely food and excellent staff, excellent caddies and of course excellent golf. They said Definitely one they want to come back too. Plenty parking, driving range and putting greens
