Hughie McNeill

Hughie McNeill was a golf course architect active in the early development of links golf in Ireland. Specific biographical details about his career and other projects remain limited in readily available historical records.

His principal known work is Nairn and Portnoo (also known as Narin & Portnoo Links) in County Donegal, Ireland. This remote links course occupies dramatic duneland on Ireland's northwest coast and has retained much of its traditional character over the decades. The layout takes advantage of the natural contours and coastal terrain typical of Irish linksland.

McNeill's work represents an important thread in the evolution of Irish golf architecture during a period when many of the country's classic links courses were first laid out.
