THE
ISLAND
In September 1887, 4 men rowed across the channel, which separates the
North County Dublin of Malahide from the spur of land to the north known
locally as "The Island".
Their mission was to survey this "wilderness" and assess its suitability
as a golf course. The four men - a brewery proprietor, a solicitor and 2
bankers viewed the location for the afternoon and made their decision.
However, any perception that this course is in any way second rate is
definitely misguided.
The Island, without a doubt, is one of the finest links courses in
Ireland.
It can be deservedly mentioned in the same breath as Portmarnock,
Ballybunion, Lahinch, Royal Dublin or indeed any of Ireland’s finest links
courses.
