Nice Track, horrible conditions

This course could be so good, but they clearly aren't putting money or the effort into proper maintenance. Crabgrass everywhere, around the fringe, rough, and even on the green surface. Lots of bare spots, again even on the greens. It's a nice course layout, with several interesting holes, but I won't be back given the conditions.

Nice Track - worth playing

Nice track that is worth playing. Tee boxes could be in better shape, but fairways were good and most of the greens were great (2-3 had some damage that was under repair). I'd play it again when back in the area.

Worth the trip, even if a bit difficult to get to

WOW....First 6 holes along the rock cliffs and water. 10, 11, 12, & 13 along the water as well. View from many of the tee boxes are just incredible. Not easy to get to, but well worth the trip. Doesn't have as much high fescue to loose golf balls in, but can be penal if you spray the ball. Greens were terrific and fast, even in the rain. Pace of play was a little slow due to the rain, but allowed ample time for pictures.

Overpriced at 120

Decent links course with some challenging holes, some easy holes, and a very bland back 9. Overpriced at 120euros/round for this course, IMHO. Has one of the stupidest blind 18th green. Green is completely blind behind two massive hills, so unless you have played before, or have a caddie, there is no way to determine where to hit. Back 9 is not memorable. I wouldn't return for the price they are charging.

Play it as a 9 hole warm up

Played it as a 9 hole warm up to the big course - Mussenden. Some decent holes, some that are short, but some large dunes that create dramatic views. Worth playing 9...not sure I would play it 2x for 18.

Mussenden is a nice track

Nice track for the money. Conditions were great. Played with two younger members who were a pleasure. The nine hole Dunn course has some great views of the water, and some dramatic hills, but a bit short on some of the 9 holes. Worth playing 9 as a warm up to the big course.

Look past the clubhouse entrance

arrived early before anyone with my son. We openly talked whether we should stay or try and book another place. Glad we stayed and played our round. Spots were burnt out due to the excessive heat, with some tees with new sod. Greens were incredible shape - better than Castle Bay and North Shore. Track is typical layout thru houses. Decent but tight fairways.

Nice track-very soft greens

Nice track. Blue tees played 6400. Great value for the money, but course maintenance needs some work. Fairway grass height was inconsistent, some weeds/crabgrass, and greens were extremely soft.
