Editorial Review

The European Club

Brittas Bay, Co. Wicklow

The Atmosphere

Pat Ruddy's twenty-hole passion project. Idiosyncratic and daring.

The European Club is Pat Ruddy's deeply personal creation. A twenty-hole links that defies convention. Built on the dunes of Brittas Bay, just an hour from Dublin, it is idiosyncratic, daring, and utterly memorable. The 13-foot deep bunkers are legendary, and Ruddy himself might greet you on the first tee. This is golf without pretension, raw and brilliant.
