Pro Shop closed on a Sunday, not a good first impression. Course very basic. Signage between holes is a shambles. Some of the greens were in poor condition. A few blind shots playing the course for the first time. You need to be a mountain goat to get around some holes. Very hilly. Over an hour from Dublin. Not a great course. I won't be back that's for sure.

Well worth a visit

Played a lovely round of golf today in Abbeyleix Golf Club. Fairways were just mowed and greens although just recently sanded were fine to play on. Food in Roots afterwards was top class as usual. We wish them every success in their new venture at The Heath Golf Club, Portlaoise.

Great challenge but a fair one

First time to play this course and i have to say on arriving i was quite excited to play.

We went into the bar and had a drink before tee off (11am) and had a coors, a perfectly done pint 👌.

The course itself is very well designed with holes that were challenging but very fair as in the par 5's can range from 430-500. I love how every hole is different, its what makes a course to be honest, variety is key and this course has that. A very friendly course and would recommend and we will be back!

Awful

No1 in club house , other groups 20 mins late teeing off with buggies , un cut fair ways , over grown rough , patchy greens ? Fallen trees , yes bad weather but still seems very unmaintained

Best thing they’d do is sell it to a dairy farmer

And don’t get me started on finding next tee box, terrible signage

Left after 8 holes
