Why this Edge Score: Des Smyth's championship links runs beside famous Baltray at Termonfeckin, stretching to 7,100 yards through the dunes with the Mourne Mountains across the sea. The great-value second round on the Louth coast, it earns a place in our Irish top thirty.

Seapoint is the links next door to Baltray — quite literally, sharing the same stretch of dune coast at Termonfeckin in County Louth. Designed by the Ryder Cup player Des Smyth with Declan Branigan and opened in 1993, it is a genuine championship links routed through 260 acres of rolling duneland beside Termonfeckin beach, with the Irish Sea and the Mourne Mountains across the water.

It plays to par 72 over more than 7,100 yards, the front nine more open and the back nine running into the bigger dunes by the shore. It has none of the fame of its illustrious neighbour, County Louth, but it is a proper test at a fraction of the price — which is exactly why it makes such a good second round for golfers who have travelled for Baltray.

Seapoint is about 45 minutes from Dublin Airport and a few minutes from Drogheda, and pairs with County Louth, Portmarnock, Royal Dublin and The Island for one of the strongest, most compact links runs in Ireland.

Holes worth knowing

1Closing stretch (15th–18th) — the homeward holes weave through the high dunes beside Termonfeckin strand and along the Irish Sea, building to a dramatic par-5 18th that demands the right line from the tee. The best of the links.
