It feels like a lifetime ago when I first heard of Ballyliffin, a mystical links at the very top of Ireland in County Donegal where there is much great golf to be found. A friend waxed lyrical about its beauty and its 36 holes. That it was so close to Malin Head, the northernmost tip of the country, only added to the allure. This is the wild north, where the ocean roars louder and the Aurora Borealis ripples above the horizon.
