Hole 9
Murvagh
To the locals, the word 'murvagh' means a low lying plain that can be reclaimed by the sea. The 9th tee box boasts a spectacular view of the beach, known locally as the Back Strands, as well as Benbulben, Mullaghmore and the Atlantic Ocean.
Murvagh Beach is one of the many Blue Flag beaches in Donegal and is a regular stop for those following the "Wild Atlantic Way".

Pro Tips
