Poor

It was like playing on custard and they layout was just chaos. No practice green either. Greens weren’t awful but that’s all that you could say about it

Work in progress !!!

Could be a good track . They are working on the course and doing a lot of work. But the holes are long and the fairways are so unfair. On some holes the fairway is only 10 yards wide and the rough is so deep you get punished even if you hit a good shot .
They need to cut the rough back a bit or even put some aprons along the fairways.

Greens

This is a nice little course, but the greens leave a lot to be desired, they look and play quite poorly which is unfortunate because it is a very picturesque part of the world.
Secondly on buggies, at €25 for senior players is a bit over priced when a round is only €20 the buggies should not be dearer than the game.
Overall experience was fine.

Course has improved every time

I've played this course 3 times now. First time in 2021, it was little more than fields with some trimmed grass for greens. Last time was march 2022 and has seen some love with it's upkeep. Can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised this time around. Course has really seen some good improvements. Better kept tee boxes, fairways and greens. Even some added water hazards and features. Though it's not going to win awards anytime soon, it's well worth your time. Especially for its price point.

Lovely place, lovely people

My first time playing butter mountain golf course, what a forgiving, scenic and friendly place, on my way around I got talking to the head green keeper Patrick and what a job he and his team have done here, from what the members cullom and Paul told me this place is unrecognisable from three years ago and is still being improved upon, Patrick has a great knowledge of a life time maintaining courses the world over, just the 14th hole here is worth the green fees alone, I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone

A good golf challenge

My first time playing this course but I will return. It is located on side of mountains and hills so lots of undulations. It was raining and windy which made the challenge even bigger. I will return and play it when the weather is better for the hot deal
Price. The deal price on GolNow was suitable as I got a hot deal and it was the right price.
