That this ridiculous piece of cliff-lined land jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, with ocean on all sides, is home to a golf course is nearly unbelievable. Old Head simply does not look like a real place, and yet here is is. It’s spectacular and unlike any other golf course in the world. Is it the best course in the world? Despite the location, no. It has its flaws. But with nine holes playing atop the cliffs, a round at Old Head is a bucket list experience.
