I first played this course on a charity day last year-and needless to say it was a washout.... dreadful weather mixed with a chocablock course made it difficult to enjoy or even make the most of the surroundings...

Fast forward 16 months and things couldn’t have been more different. Yes, there were still light drizzle but that was it! I had a 8.26 tee-time, arrived at 8.15 and was told I could go on ahead as the course was clear. The 1st 2 holes I was being “stalked” by the green keepers which is always fun but they were gone by the 3rd tee-box. I was told about the club rule about playing anything from 150 yards in off the light rough-this wasn’t an issue as it was clearly marked out on every hole.
All the tee-boxes were in play, as were the greens— welcome sight in late November. The overall presentation of the course was superb, no major issues with water saturation, and all greens were running pure.

Well worth the money, I was smiling the entire day (once the stalkers had gone away) and this came across in my nett Par score-delighted!

Highly recommended to anyone wanting to play a Royal course at non-Royal prices!

After getting a 'Hot Deal' for a 9.20 tee-time, I was very much looking forward to playing a course I had walked past many times during the years while visiting Scrabo Tower.
Arriving at the Pro Shop, I was told that the tee was free and I could go on ahead if I wished. Standing on the 1st tee, a blind up-hill Par4 (with the usual 1st tee nerves) with wind against me... here we go!
Beautiful course, kept talking to myself about just how well presented it was and so many challenging holes. Bit of confusion on the 8th tee-the 11th tee box right beside me-it wasn't clear that the fairways cross over so I was halfway up the "8th" before realising I was playing the 11th!
A great mix of links style with undulating fairways/gorse bushes and proper parklands kept the interest right up until the final shot into the 18th green..with some breathtaking views over the Louth (the 2nd green was a particular favourite).

Highly recommend, great value for money and a joy to play. I will 100% be returning
