Nice layout

Was a good track. Unfortunate that they do not clear dew off greens before golfers play as most courses do. Made putting difficult.

Poor Quality Staff

The course has a decent layout but it is very long. Some nice holes and on particularly nice par 3. But the ground holds the water and is very soft even after a little rain.

The staff here were rude and very unhelpful. The food quality upstairs in hotel was not great and overpriced.

Nice practice putting area and it has a driving range where you are not allowed to use your driver so an Iron range?

Course conditions

One of my favourite courses but it's biggest let downs is how wet the course is alot of money spent on the course but spent in the wrong way .....There are plenty of drainage areas to let water into (ie)lakes and ditches but there are far far fewer drainage points in the course and are badly needed to make this course a fantastic course because everything else is there just a pity about the course conditions....

Lack of a golf shop and golf pro big let down

Lovely course but left feeling disappointed.

Arrived at 08:30 for my 9am tee time to find the pro shop was closed. Enjoyed the lovely putting green for 25 mins before going back to pro shop to get my scorecard. Still closed and no staff there, which was annoying.
Course layout was fantastic but I noticed from Hole 1 that the sanding/stoning that was going on that day on the course was really hampering my game. Shots around the green, whether in the fairway or rough, were essentially like bunker shots. That sand seemed to be everywhere and had plenty of pebbles in it which was disappointing.
I understand course maintenance is a must but I am not lying when I say some of the off-green areas were nearly unplayable.
Course design and layout is excellent but I did drive home that day feeling disappointed even though for €30, it was good value for money.
To end on a positive, I think Hole 11 is one of the nicest par 3s in the country and a good test for a 140yd hole.

Course in good shape, great amenities

Had a very enjoyable round despite desperate rain. Course is in great condition, although no buggies allowed when the ground was so wet. Very little flooding on the course. Nice sized pro shop and plenty of food options onsite as it shares grounds with a hotel. There was a deiving ramge and good practice area too. Can't fault it
