Excellent back 9!

Went our as a pair early in the morning, as the staff were extremely flexible in letting us out earlier than booked.

Course in good condition and quite dry considering heavy recent rain.

Front 9 is pretty tame but the round rises to a crescendo on the back 9, with 14 and 15 the particular highlights.

Some trees down following storms earlier in the ear, but this isn't so much of a bad thing as it opens out the course a bit and allows more shot making.

Fantastic course

Brilliant course to play for high handicappers like myself only lost 1 ball lots of room for wayward shots. Greens are super fast. Pace of play was slow over 5 hrs but members were friendly and liked a chat so really enjoyed it. Had food in club house really tasty food. I could not recommend this course highly enough.

Loughrea Golf Club

Although Loughrea might not be the longest course, the narrow fairways and small greens requires accuracy and good shot making ability. The greens were in perfect condition and had a pure roll. Credit to the course staff who are in charge of the greens.

There are some great holes with elevated tee boxes. For a short course the 10th par 5, felt like one of the longest holes I've played.

The staff were accommodating and friendly when we arrived. I would pay 25 euro in heartbeat to play that course again. Great value for money.

Challenging course

Was a poor day weather wise which didn’t help. The course is always a good challenge, however no where to purchase balls or no pro shop.

Pace of play is always slow any Saturday I have played here and would recommend getting out as early as possible to try get ahead of it .

Great day out

Gorgeous sunny day matched only by the welcome from staff and members at the club, truly faultless.

Course had great variety and was in excellent condition with very true greens.

For the money, this may have been the best value I ll have all year.

Can't wait to return.

They were doing a bit of spring cleaning, to be expected. felt like we had the course to ourselves. Different layout than what I’m used to but easy enough with posted signage. Plenty of terrain and hazards to make challenging and delightful.
