Course half closed

We booked through golf now and upon arrival we were told we could only play 9 holes as half the course was closed. This was not advertised when paying full whack for 18 holes. We were then told to contact GolfNow to reimburse us for the round. All round the course is unplayable, can’t withstand any water

Great golfing

I played the red and yellow courses. Both in excellent condition. It’s a good challenge for a high handicap golfer like myself. One bugbear was that I played early at 8 o’clock and had to wait for the course maintenance guys to finish on almost every hole. This added at least 20 mins to my round. That said the course is in excellent condition so I suppose that’s the trade off.

Poor drainage

It had been raining but the drainage within the course is really poor. You could land in the middle of the fairway and lose your ball.

The course is OK but not worth €50 in those conditions.

Poor Greens + Course management

Played recently - not very challenging, no stand out holes . Poor layout - long walks between some holes and poorly sign posted. Greens were not cut and were sanded - strange for this time of year.
