Best in the south east!

The 15th and 16th hole the two most beautiful holes ive played! Situated down by the river Slaney, its arguably the most impressive non links course in the south east. Jeff Howes clearly had a lot to work with and has created an epic golfing environment. A friend of mine mused: god must have designed this course!

In particular the golf range and academy is located right beside the first tee. There are mirrors behind you so its easy to adjust! 20 warm up balls 2 euro, 80 balls 6 euro...No excuses:-)

The crannog style clubhouse offers a 5* experience, the showers are perfect, towels included etc. Food is tasty and reasonably priced.
