Buttermountain Golf & Leisure Club

Nice parklands course up near ballinscorney, nice and forgiving for the beginner and challenging enough for the so called experienced players. 14th holes a beaut. Will definitely be back.

This is a nice little course, but the greens leave a lot to be desired, they look and play quite poorly which is unfortunate because it is a very picturesque part of the world.

Secondly on buggies, at €25 for senior players is a bit over priced when a round is only €20 the buggies should not be dearer than the game.

Overall experience was fine.

I've played this course 3 times now. First time in 2021, it was little more than fields with some trimmed grass for greens. Last time was march 2022 and has seen some love with it's upkeep. Can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised this time around. Course has really seen some good improvements. Better kept tee boxes, fairways and greens. Even some added water hazards and features. Though it's not going to win awards anytime soon, it's well worth your time. Especially for its price point.

My first time playing butter mountain golf course, what a forgiving, scenic and friendly place, on my way around I got talking to the head green keeper Patrick and what a job he and his team have done here, from what the members cullom and Paul told me this place is unrecognisable from three years ago and is still being improved upon, Patrick has a great knowledge of a life time maintaining courses the world over, just the 14th hole here is worth the green fees alone, I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone

I have to say it a very good course. It a very friendly course to play. .I have to say it the best course I played yet.

My first time playing this course but I will return. It is located on side of mountains and hills so lots of undulations. It was raining and windy which made the challenge even bigger. I will return and play it when the weather is better for the hot deal

Price. The deal price on GolNow was suitable as I got a hot deal and it was the right price.

The course isn’t as bad as what I was led to believe by reading previous reviews. Sure, there are some spots around the course that you wouldn’t want to land but overall I was happy - especially for the price!

This is my second time playing. The best course I played so far .

Due to the winter greens we were a bit confused at the beginning of our round.. bit it got better I ha e to say it was the best course I ha e being on in a

long time.. I will be back to play a few more rounds.

Loved it and will be back again great layout and my favourite hole was par 3 on an island

The reviews are harsh on this course.

Pros:

There is some beautiful scenery

Plenty of long and challenging holes

Forgiving - you won't lose many balls up here

Easy Access - Always lots of tee times

Value for money - it's a bargain for the Hot Deal Prices

Cons:

Very few Yardage Markers

Greens and Bunkers are average at best

Very exposed (Wind can be a major factor)

Very Soggy Fairways on some holes in Winter

No practice green or range

Conclusion:

All in all it's a great place to get a tee time and a cheap round in.

Also excellent for beginners, or for anyone to have a casual round or even throw a few balls down for practice.

I'll be going back even though I have membership elsewhere.
