Roundwood Golf Club

Greens are not maintained. Some fairways on the course are better than the greens. Tee boxes were a let down. Very hilly so I also would not recommend for elderly unless you rent a cart. Over priced there are better courses for half the price

Not particularly maintained very well. Tee boxes are slanted and very poor on certain holes. The greens are very poor, impossible to get a good roll. Some of the views are spectacular and some of the holes are really great. It’s a shame that the course is not maintained well as it has a lot of potential but unfortunately not looked after to a good standard. €35 to play the course. Extortionate price for a course of this standard.

Absolutely fabulous course. Extremely challenging as set on a mountain but very well laid out. Only down fall off the whole thing was when we arrived we were refused a golf cart only for the people following us into the club house were granted a cart . The staff member proceeded to then say they had it booked which the other golfer then told me in the car park was a lie. It was blatant age discrimination as me and my fellow golfer are in out mid 20s. Other than that it's a fabulous course.

First of all 2 out of 18 holes were closed without prior notice.

Slow club members didn’t let anyone play through sometimes waiting ten minutes on the tee box.

Lastly course Lay-out is atrocious due to not being able to see any greens from most of the tee boxes and inaccurate score card.

+ no club shop with drinks snacks etc

A very good and hard course there is no easy shot you have to try and pick a target .

Overall it was a great day out. The course is tricky enough and the setting it class. Beautiful hills and scenery.

If I was to comment on some items of improvement I would say the greens need some work.

The clubhouse set up could be more maintained and welcoming, with some small improvements this could be a much better experience and result in repeat play and higher membership.

All in all a fabulous day out and the course makes you try interesting shots.

Lovely course. Very nice staff. Greens not perfect but wonderful fairways. Very good value. Beautiful scenery

Lovely course. Challenging holes with punishing rough and lots of great views of surrounding mountains. The course plays long and has plenty of dog legs to make things interesting. We got a map of the holes which helped as some of them are pretty blind for your first time round the course. Staff were helpful. No meals being served but thats mostly to do with Covid I'd say. Others have mentioned the greens being a bit rough which is true, some of the them play perfect though.

Played this course for the first time on a Saturday, car park was deserted which was a bad sign. Course is in terrible condition, fairways have not been cut in a long time, tee boxes were poor also, bunkers looked like they hadn't been raked since Winter. But the greens took the biscuit, the worst I have ever putted on. They were hairy, bumpy, slow. There is no way these greens were built to USGA standards. Gentleman in the bar informed us that the practice green was closed, tactical on his part, as if we had hit a few practice putts on it beforehand, we would have hopped straight back into the car. Layout is a mess, don't know where you're hitting the ball most of the time, so many blind shots. Would not recommend, bad value for money, I would pay the extra bit to play a different course in the area next time.

I really enjoyed my round here. The lady at reception was kind and helpful (as were the club members I encountered on the course), and the course (rightly, in my view) starts off with three fairly manageable holes.

Thereafter, the Par 3s are on the easy side but, first time out anyway, I found the blind holes (of which there are quite a few) a little frustrating. It's hard to commit when you're not too sure where you're aiming. Maybe more signage would help?

I also found the next tee box hard to find on one or two occasions. Again, more signage would help, I feel. (This was when the members on the course were very helpful.)

Lastly, and perhaps inevitably given the course's mountainous location, the slopes were pretty severe at times. This is not a criticism. But it certainly was challenging for a relatively high handicapper like myself. (Good for me, I hear you low handicappers say!)

Overall, I'd say give Roundwood a visit. I'll be back.
