The Old Tom Morris Links is Rosapenna's historic course, but its present 18-hole routing combines two eras of architecture. Old Tom Morris laid out the original Rosapenna links in the early 1890s and it opened for play in 1893. Harry Vardon and James Braid made alterations in 1906, and Harry Colt later contributed further changes.
In 2009 Rosapenna opened the new Strand Nine, designed by Pat Ruddy with Eric Iverson, replacing the original holes that repeatedly crossed the main road. The Strand Nine now forms the front nine, while the historic Valley Nine forms the back. The current championship configuration is approximately 6,901 yards and par 71.

Lord Leitrim brought Old Tom Morris to Rosapenna in 1891 to examine the linksland at Sheephaven Bay. Morris laid out the original course, which opened for play in 1893 and helped establish Rosapenna as an early golf resort.
Harry Vardon and James Braid made alterations in 1906 and Harry Colt later contributed further work. A major modern change came in 2009 when a new Strand Nine by Pat Ruddy and Eric Iverson replaced the portion of the old course that crossed the main road. The Strand Nine now forms the opening half of the present course and the historic Valley holes form the second nine.
The Old Tom Morris Links is one of three principal 18-hole courses at Rosapenna and has its own visitor and resort-guest pricing.
