Course in excellent condition.

Unique layout, only 9 greens, 18 different tee positions, slightly confusing, and could become congested. Overall good value for money.

One of the best 9 hole courses anywhere

Excellent course in excellent condition. Tight blind tee shots between huge trees. Great variation in playing tees from first to second nine. Fourth hole, par 3, is actually two different holes, so it’s actually a 10 hole course! Highly recommended. Follow it up with a pint a Joyce’s pub in town.

Fantastic right nine hole course with 18 tee boxes.

Brilliant well kept course. A little hidden gem. 9 holes but plays 18 as they have different tees for the “back” nine.

Lovely friendly club house and bar.

Great, will be back.

Lovely track

Like most of provincial courses maintenance is just finished for the start of the season. Course is well playable and is going to be lovely by the end of the month

Great value. Good driving chance. Your approach shots need to be accurate if not your short game will be tested to the full

Majestic 9 Hole Course

I was a member here last year and it was my first time back playing since. Greens are in phenomenal condition like always and overall it’s a really nice 9 hole course. Amazing scenery and lush greenlands.

Nigel behind the bar was as friendly as ever.

Would highly recommend

One of the best 9 in Ireland

Special atmosphere and views. Has all the shots, old style. Not too long but still challenging yet scoreable. It really is one of the best 9 in Ireland.
