1 of the best courses in the country
The rain the past week destroyed our game today unfortunately
What a course
The Montgomery course is sensational, in perfect condition, challenging but not impossible. Really well layed out with some brilliant holes, in particular the par three 17th and the par five 18th is an amazing hole to finish on.
It rained all morning before we teed off but you'd hardly have known after an hour, the fairways were solid and the ball ran for miles. A true links experience
Amazing place but pace of play ruined it
Everything amazing except the pace of play. Stuck behind a 3 ball and then a 4 ball. The 4 ball would not let the 3 ball through and subsequently i was stuck behind both of them. Incredible poor behaviour from 4 ball especially they were taking an age on greens. Normally would get around most courses in 3.30hrs.
5hrs for 1 player to get around. Neither groups offered to let one player through
Fantastic golf course
Fantastc golf course, with lovely views and great layout. The greens are the best i have played on, challenging but roll so nice...very impressive conditions given it was October conditions.
Super facilities and course.... Greens in excellent condition.. Food as always top notch.
Oh those greens !
MONTGOMERY COURSE
We were led to believe that the Monty course was considerably harder than the O'Mera. It played tough on / around the greens !! VERY TOUGH. The layout is pretty open, and errant drives are not punished as bad as the other courses we played in Dublin (st Annes / Portmarnock Golf and Links), but the greens are VERY difficult, id your short game and putting is below standard, you will be punished, lots and lots of run off's, and most greens were saucer configuration, and pins around the edges (and most were!), were a real test of both line and pace !
Bunkers were deep but properly sanded and fair.
3rd is a great par 3 as is 17th. 11th ( index 2) is a really great hole
Golf staff were generally very good.
Over Rated Course
For the price you pay, this course is definitely not worth it. I don't understand why people favour inland links inspired courses. I true links should be beside the sea. Getting Montgomery to design a course for Carton was a bad idea in my opinion. He was always going to favour a links inspired course being from Scotland. The conditions of the course were great but the holes were incredibly boring. I've played a lot of links course with spectacular holes here and there. This course only had two notable holes, the first and the last holes. Palmerstown Stud is a much better option for a round of golf in Kildare.
