Fun course

This was the first course I played in Ireland - coming over from Texas. It was a fun track, in good condition and played with a member that was friendly and helpful. Course layout was straightforward - good course to start my trip and get used to local conditions. The rough was not as penal nor were there as many blind shots as I saw on other links courses in the area. The price was reasonable and very much enjoyed the round. Definitely will play again if/when I return to Dublin.

Nice course overall

I would recommend to put water refill points along the course as it gets really hot during summer.

Only 11 holes in play

Paid €30 just to be told when we arrived that only 11 holes were in play. However we were allowed to loop back around to complete 18. There was little to no signage indicating tee box locations which made navigating difficult especially since nearly half the holes weren’t in play. Would never have worked it out if it were not for the friendly members who corrected us. However the course was still in decent condition for the conditions and time of year and would be a good course in the summer. Food was great value and staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back in summer.
