Well presented course with a nice flow of holes

Enjoyed playing here very much the weather and condition of the course helped. The greens were in great shape for the time of year and a lot of work going on clearing leaves from fairways as well which makes life easier finding those off centre shots. It seems to be a well managed and organised club at all it's levels. Well worth the drive from Dublin to play.

Poor round

We checked in for our team time in the pro shop and were made aware that we had to start on the 10th (which wasn’t a problem) but we’re never told that several holes had their holes off the green which we found quite bizarre when there were holes already cut on the greens.

Although some may have been receiving treatment we weren’t made aware and the greens which were open, had a huge amount of pitch marks and damage to them that it actually effected our rounds ( we spent more time repairing pitch marks and divots then reading putts)

I just wanted to make you aware as I know the standard of the course is normally quite high and we have had unprecedented weather conditions of late but what we played today was appalling compared to what we’ve played at your club in the past. If I hadn’t of gotten a deal on GolfNow for the round today I would’ve asked for a refund.

Hopefully this feedback can be taken well and ensures others are able to enjoy the facilities you provide in the future.

Good course shame about the slow play

Course was in good condition and not wet under foot given storm that had just past.

Pace of play was painfully slow.

One of the best courses I've played

Staff at the pro shop could not have been more helpful. Good practice facilities before the round began. Fairways were immaculate and the greens were excellent. It's a credit to the groundsmen. Will definitely play this again.

Challenging course

I was greated by two gentleman who were very welcoming. Good practice area,
I tee off on the old course with a lovely couple and had a great day. The course was in excellent condition with the greens running fast. Lots of trees (I know I found every one lol) all in all a great experience and I look forward to returning here very soon to take on the new course 😃

Shocking customer service

First time I was due to play Headfort. Unfortunately a flat tire on the way out meant I wouldn't arrive until 2 minutes before my tee time. (I had wanted to get there a minimum 30 mins early to get a warm up, coffee etc. Rang the course explained the situation, and the club pro (I assume) was overjoyed to here this information. I was told 'your tee time is your tee time, if you miss it that's your problem'

I've never had such an ignorant response from a course, absolutely would not recommend, a little accommodation would have been nice, even if I was asked to skip the first 2 holes etc. Absolutely nothing. Stay away unless you want to deal with ignorance at its finest.
