Best in the south east!

The 15th and 16th hole the two most beautiful holes ive played! Situated down by the river Slaney, its arguably the most impressive non links course in the south east. Jeff Howes clearly had a lot to work with and has created an epic golfing environment. A friend of mine mused: god must have designed this course!

In particular the golf range and academy is located right beside the first tee. There are mirrors behind you so its easy to adjust! 20 warm up balls 2 euro, 80 balls 6 euro...No excuses:-)

The crannog style clubhouse offers a 5* experience, the showers are perfect, towels included etc. Food is tasty and reasonably priced.

Beautiful course, well worth it

Great course, providing a good challenge and very well maintained. Love the driving range, putting green and chipping area before the 1st hole.

Good Course

Have played Bunclody GC on numerous occasions now. It's a great challenge with some real tough holes. Par 5's are brilliant. Holes 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18 are a testing finish. Played again June 2023 and was disappointed. A lot areas around the greens are poor, patchy for this time of year. Greens are 100%.
The 17th hole lift was broken. We also hired 1 buggy and were charged €40. This is a bit expensive for having already paid €60 each for green fees. We queried the guy in the Pro- Shop who's attitude was to take it or leave it!
Overall a great course. Some equally great courses in the area with Golf + Buggy deals.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course, friendly staff and excellent facilities/clubhouse for a great rate.

Holes 1-6 and 13-18 the stand out holes with views of the mountains and a stroll by the Slaney before the novelty of having to take an elevator from the 17th to the downhill par 5 18th.

Very Challenging off the whites and greens especially when there's a breeze as it's very rarely down breeze with plenty of uphill holes and slope run offs.

Fo pace of play is very fast only once slow enough as I was stuck behind a few groups of women golfers but that's normal everywhere.
