The course is part of Neville Hotels and sits alongside Ravenport Resort in Curracloe, about two hours from Dublin Airport and within easy reach of one of the country’s most storied coastal stretches. The official Curracloe Links site says bookings are available from April 1, 2027, signaling that the project is moving from vision to reality.
What makes Curracloe Links stand out is the setting. Tourism Ireland says the design team at Fry and Straka is shaping a course that will reflect the natural character of the land, while Irish Golfer reported that the project was conceived as a world-class seaside links adjacent to Curracloe Beach.
The architecture story is built around the kind of terrain golfers dream about, with sandy ground, firm turf, long sea views, and natural bunkering that should reward both imagination and precision.
That setting matters because Curracloe has long been a destination in its own right. Discover Ireland describes Curracloe Beach as a long white sandy beach in County Wexford that stretches from Raven Point to Ballyconigar near Blackwater, with hilly dunes, a nature trail, Raven Point Wood, and wildlife including red squirrels and grey seals.

The beach is also known to many movie fans for its role in the opening scenes of "Saving Private Ryan", giving the area a rare mix of cinematic history and natural beauty.
For those visiting the area to golf, that combination is especially appealing because it blends golf, coast, and culture in one compact corner of the country.
Visit Wexford says the county promotes itself as the sunniest corner of Ireland and highlights its 250 kilometers of beaches and coastline, with Curracloe among the standout names. In other words, Curracloe Links is not arriving in a blank landscape. It is joining a place already known for beach walks, summer light, big skies, and a shoreline that has helped define Wexford’s identity for generations.
