In Volume 1 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“Around the bay from Rosapenna, this modest small-town links has two highlights -- an elevated rocky point at the far end offering spectacular views of the bay, and a fine three-hole closing loop adjacent to a sandy inlet. At 5800 yards it won’t be enough for some players, but the view from the par-3 17^th is probably worth the price of admission on its own.“

Dunfanaghy Golf Club received a score of 4 out of 10 from Tom Doak.
