Lovely Course

I love this course and it is one of my favourites in North Co Dublin where there is no shortage of good golf courses. it is in immaculate condition with beautiful greens. The first a Par 4 is reachable in 1 which I did setting me up nicely for a good round. I highly recommend Balcarrick GC and look forward to my next game there.
