Enjoyable links

Classic seaside location. No towering dunes but views to the sea on the outward nine. Course is well maintained and should be enjoyed by any avid links enthusiast

Slowest course I have ever played

Awful pace of play, slowest course I have played in Ireland without a doubt. Setting seems ok but pace of play is just painful.

Great staff

Ended up close to Dublin on the return of my Irish golf vacation just trying to get close to the airport. We were very lucky to find this gem and the staff was excellent. Hat;'s of to Gavin and his staff. They do need to mark the Gold tee's but I made my own. Gotta make it easier for the old Americans.

Mostly member golfer but everybody we came in to contact with were very friendly to the american's

Thank you,
Bob

A few hiccups

The course was in great condition but there are a couple of caveats. No play from fairways. Options are to either use a mat or play from the edge of the fairway. Also the second hole had been reduced in length to a par 3 and the 18th was closed. Hole 14a, a par 3 was in use instead. Also the clubhouse heating had failed and there was no food due to a COVID outbreak in the kitchens. Finally while I was having a cup of tea after the round either the burglar or fire alarm went off. I have never heard anything so loud in my life. You would hear it in Drogheda. Had to put my hands over my ears. It also took about 5 minutes to deactivate it. Otherwise a great days golf. Can’t wait to play it again when the whole course is open.
