Portmarnock Golf Club (Yellow/Blue)

Overview: Portmarnock Golf Club ~ Yellow/Blue gives golfers an 18-hole pairing of two loops at Portmarnock’s 27-hole links in County Dublin. The sandy peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides, and the club’s course identity is built on firm coastal ground, strategic fairways and views across the Irish Sea. Current handicap data lists a Yellow/Blue combination at par 73 and 6,547 metres, approximately 7,164 yards, from the relevant tee set. The profile keeps the exact pairing in the title so it is not confused with the Red/Blue championship combination.

History: Portmarnock traces golf on the peninsula to 1894 and has accumulated a long record of Irish Opens, amateur championships and other major events. The layout has been adjusted over time, but the course has retained its low-lying, water-framed links character. The three loops give the club operational flexibility and create several full-round identities. Yellow/Blue is therefore part of the current course architecture, not a historical nickname.

Did You Know? The Yellow/Blue par and length come from current rating data rather than a marketing description. That is useful because multi-loop facilities often publish several numbers at once. Here, the combination is explicitly identified as 18 holes, so the rating record provides a more defensible core specification than copying the most famous Portmarnock Championship card.
