The layout

First time playing the course,given the weather have experienced recently I must say the course was in great condition. Good fairways, great greens. The course is not overly long, but there are some very tight tee shots and some fantastic approaches needed into small targets. We will most certainly be back to play many times this year. 5*

Great value

I've played Ballymascanlon a few times over the years....always good. On this occasion I thought I'd try it out as the weather has been so wet and this course is drier than most. This proved to be case and the round was very enjoyable all the more so because the course was empty and we got a free run at it. The greens were a tad slow as you would expect with all the rain. Only one hole disappointed because it was using a temporary green but other than that the course was great. Definitely be back...great day.
