Truly majestic. Without rival. A modern masterpiece.
All of these things have been said about St. Patrick’s, Tom Doak’s incredible design set in the wild dunes overlooking Sheephaven Bay. With a long history of golf on the site, Doak’s team took a rugged property near the sea and massaged it into one of the best golf courses built anywhere in the world in the last quarter century.
Known as one of the true geniuses of golf design, Tom Doak started his career as a critic before emerging as perhaps the best golf architect of the 21st century. Since opening Pacific Dunes at Bandon Dunes Resort in 2001, Doak’s has continually created many of the best courses in the world. Currently six of Doak’s designs, including St. Patrick’s, reside in the Top 100 in the world, according to Golf Magazine. “My rule of thumb is that if I give you long enough between holes to check your cellphone, I’ve screwed up,” Doak says.
“Set in the northwest county of Donegal, St. Patrick’s too will soon become a household name with golfers flocking here to experience the unbridled joy that comes from playing in and among big dunes as one battles the wind.”
