Really nice course

Really nice course and was looking forward to playing it again but was disappointed to find that the greens had been hollow tinned!!!

It’s very unfair to sell on line when the greens greens so bad!!! Surely they could refrain from selling tee times for a few weeks to let the greens recover!!!

Maybe a warning on line if they must keep selling would be a fair option!!!

Hidden Gem

The entrance to the driveway is in the middle of the city, so obvious, we missed it first. :)

Pristine greens. Excellent maintained course. Embedded within the Nature with very old trees and a small river. Impressive Clubhouse with friendly staff.

The course can easily keep up with the 'big names' but is way cheaper! :) Good for us. We will visit again.

Excellent course with a brilliant back 6 holes

The holes in Bunclody start with really good holes but it is really from 14 to 17 where the course excels, with 15 and 16 possible as good golf holes that you get anywhere. I have played approx 150 courses and I would highly recommend adding this course to your list of must play courses.
