This beautifully presented wooded parkland estate is generally regarded as one of the finest inland courses in Ireland and unquestionably a tranquil and idyllic location for golf. Founded in 1895 & Tony Jacklin winning his first senior professional tournament here in 1966. The centre piece of the 270 acres is a beautiful natural trout lake extending to an awesome 27 acres. The stone built clubhouse dates back to 1835 but has been sympathetically refurbished to offer luxurious surroundings in which to wine and dine.

The course itself is a good and satisfying challenge with mature trees shaping many of the holes with the lake coming appropriately into play on the 13th. Beware the 15th where the tee shot to a tricky undulating green is over water all the way. Also the 18th is quite daunting where almost any ball to the right of the green is water bound.
