Donegal Golf Club is located on Murvagh Peninsula in Donegal Bay, not far from Donegal Town in the north of Ireland. The course officially opened in 1976 and is considered one of Ireland's finest. The Bluestack Mountains serve as a backdrop for the links, and Donegal Bay and the northwest Atlantic Ocean bracket the peninsula. The on-course views match the off-course in many places around the links, which plays through tall, golden fescue and dunes.

Photographer Rick Hendershot says: "Hole Number 5 at Donegal is a 174-meter par-3 called 'Valley of Tears.' When the wind is blowing it is quite an accomplishment to hit this green."
