The European Club

The European Club, a Pat Ruddy design in County Wicklow, Ireland, stands as a formidable modern links, ranked 60th in the world by Top100World (2025). Crafted directly from raw coastal land, its natural, rumpled fairways, towering dunes, and famously long par-3s present a relentless yet authentic golfing examination. This singular vision of links golf, south of Dublin, is a must-play for purists.
