Value for money

Got the round for 18euro so very good value. Some of the tee boxes and greens were rough enough and a four ball ahead of us held us up for most of the round. Very slow play on the day I played but other days have been fine.

Good nick

I played a month previous and the fairways were longer than the rough in some cases but this time they were much better. Greens were fast and even but some spots around the course lack drainage and are very boggy. No one in the club shop at 2pm with surprised me and I was done at 6 and the upstairs bar/restaurant was closed, slightly disappointing

Some parts of the course were a little soggy, to be expected coming out of spring, but members were over the top hospitable

Great, Tricky and Challenging Course

Fantastic Course, Tee boxes and Greens in Great Condition

Fairways Just a bit Soft in Places due to all the Previous Rain etc, Fantastic Gem of A Park land Course & Fantastic Value For Money at €14 for 18 Holes,
