The course is in great condition for this time of year, with no mud on the fairways. Beautiful views and a great variation in holes.

Spectacular condition

Having endured one of the wettest winters in Ireland, in which the local area was particularly badly hit, I was so impressed with the condition of the course, all the way through the 13 holes I was able to complete before it got dark.

I paid €43 but had a €25 promo code so it cost me €18 in the end which was exceptional value, particularly given what a fine evening it was.

Greens and fairways were in absolutely brilliant condition, and a huge credit to the ground staff for getting the course back into such great shape. It's a very undulating course that uses the contours of the ground well. Wide fairways but plenty of bunkers, and the greens are really tricky. I hear they're lightning in the summer, but I thought they were a fair speed when I played.

Would love to come back and complete the 18 at some point shortly in the future.

Breath taking scenery but tough course

Lovely customer service when I went in was looked after from the moment I arrived. As I arrived early the guy behind the desk gave me a free voucher for balls to practice which was lovely. The course was in such great condition and every hole was picturesque! Absolutely loved it especially the signature hole over the pond.

Powerscourt West

Having just played Powerscourt West, I can honestly say that the East course is better (has more variety) hole wise.

It's a very picturesque course with some fantastic views of the Mountains (behind the 8th tee especially).

I was told before I played, it was a very long course (nonence). Best advice is GO PLAY IT. Form your own opinion.

Right let's go... some very average holes on the West (like the East). Long they day!? Mist of the par 4's play less than 400 yards. But tricky.

3rd hole very average, like the 5th 8th 11th very short par 3 141 yards. 12th isn't a great hole either, boring. 13th is ok. 14th tough littered with bunkers (like the 15th on the East).

Best holes 1st. 2nd lovely par 3. 4th is lovely, tricky. 6th lovely par 3. 7th is a nice hole (although in my opinion it's not a par 5). 9th is lovely water all down the left hand side. Keep right. 10th a decent hole.

The walk up the hill from the 10th green to the 11th tee is a joke. Nearly passed out.

15th lovely hole. Better hit straight. 16th lovely par 5 from right to left. Easily scoreable. 17th lovely par 3, tough depending on pin position.

18th par 5. Nice hole, lake down all the left hand side as you approach the green. Managed to get my par.

All in all a nice day out. But the East course was better.

Cheers folks

Good course, nice views, tough walk.

Nice course, lots of variation and challenging holes. Perhaps lacking a signature hole or two, but still very good.

Tough walk at times.
