Buttermountain Golf & Leisure Club

Course always improving. Toilet’s recently refurbished. Bit windy but that’s golf.

Haven’t played here in nearly 12 years, the course has had some very nice changes.

Arrived @8.20 am for a tee time of 8.48 am. Gate closed and 5 cars were waiting on roadside by the time we got gate opened. Staff member arrived around 8.50 am. Toilets filthy. Greens in poor condition and only two of 18 fairways looked as if the grass had been tended. Views were nice. Cheap round of golf but not sure it was even worth that. Wouldn’t recommend Buttermountain.

First time playing Buttermountain Golf Course. Staff were very friendly. One man in particular, William I think his name was, an absolute gentleman. Made me feel welcome.

Golf course was overall fairly average, some tricky holes 8th and 11th. An amazing 132 yard tricky signature 14th hole par 3. Surrounded by water. Hit a 9 iron in to the back of the green. Long putt for birdie, missed got my par. Some very average holes (1st 2nd 3rd 5th 9th 10th 12th 16th 17th 18th). To be fair the course was in great condition. Fairways and greens. Rough was tough... put it that way. A round in Buttermountain should cost €20 at most. I paid €25.

Toilets are shocking, need major improvements. Overall 7/10. Coincidentally I shot my best ever score... an 87. Considering I've never played the course before today. Very forgiving open fairways. Wind was a major factor. I hit cracking tee shots with my driver. Aimed far out left for the ball to come back in to the fairways.

I won't rush back any time soon. But to be honest and fair ill definitely be back again if only to play that 14th hole

Course gets better on the back nine. Greens needed a fresh cut, toilets etc leave a lot to be desired. Not sure where the leisure club part comes from, possibly in the future? Overall, you don’t get anymore than you pay for.

It was like playing on custard and they layout was just chaos. No practice green either. Greens weren’t awful but that’s all that you could say about it

Could be a good track . They are working on the course and doing a lot of work. But the holes are long and the fairways are so unfair. On some holes the fairway is only 10 yards wide and the rough is so deep you get punished even if you hit a good shot .

They need to cut the rough back a bit or even put some aprons along the fairways.

Great looking course with high quality fairways and greens, some issues with drainage but due to the heavy rain that’s to be expected. Interesting layout for some holes, which I have never seen before and enjoyed, however it was slightly confusing as a first time player to figure out which tee boxes were which for some holes.

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.
