What is the one course in the immediate Dublin area that you would recommend playing? I'm assuming that the choice is between Portmarnock and the Island (for purposes of this question, I'm not including courses like County Louth/Baltray and Royal County Down/Newcastle).
I'm interested in any thoughts regarding the relative merits of the courses and experiences for visitors at Portmarnock and the Island. I know the basics of the courses--Portmarnock is flattish, more like an Open course; the Island is quirkier and has more dunes. I'd appreciate any more detailed thoughts and observations and, to the extent comments can discuss specifically the architecture at each, that'd be all the better.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
(P.S. I know there have been a lot of threads devoted to where to play in Ireland but I haven't seen this specific question addressed--Portmarnock or the Island? Also, if it makes a difference, the contemplated trip is a quick-hitter, a 5-6 night visit, which will also include playing Baltray, RCD and Portrush).
