Beautiful course!

Well designed course. The map on my garmin watch wasn’t updated but it is still easy to navigate by the map. Every hole has a graphic sign showing how the hole looks like which is very easy to play.

The food and drink are nice too! Love the experience there. Thank you.

Lovely course, challenging but fun

Greens and fairways were impeccable. The rough is super clingy and a real challenge, but very fun. Very hilly so is a challenging 18 holes, but lots of variation in layout to keep you busy.

Beautiful Location

Charming course, big tree lines, aesthetically as good as they come. Course is in great nick, can't say the same for the driving range but it's not about that. Hard to get to but i think it's remoteness adds to the appeal. The course and the golf is 2nd to none.

Fantastic course and very well maintained even after all of the rain that fell during the week. Staff were very friendly and a lot of nice challenging holes with plenty of water hazards and the greens are immaculate for January. Will definitely be back.

A Walk in the Woods

We really enjoyed the round at Rathsallagh. The course has an old world feel, with large mature deciduous trees everywhere. The course is set around the trees and so there are lots of turns to shake your drives around. This makes for an interesting round, especially whilst surrounded by the autumn leaves. There's been a lot of rain recently so I don't think mud was avoidable at any course. Will definitely play again, although the hour long drive won't be missed. Friendly staff too.
