Nice course the front and back 9s are quite different from one another.

Front 9 shorter and very tight, water on at least 5 holes, if you're a big hitter you need to be very accurate and only really need your driver on 3 holes.

Back 9 is longer and more open with less water to contend with (so fewer lost balls!). 18th hole is nice par 5, if you hit a long tee shot the green is makable in 2 but you need to carry a big pond so need to be confident with your long irons/fairway woods.

Greens in good condition though sandy, lots of rain of late so soft underfoot and bunkers sodden. Drainage, not the best but not the worst.

Staff are friendly, there's no separate clubhouse you just use the hotel bar/restaurant facilities.

Best value course in Dublin, €18 for a round (with member) and only €800 for a year full membership.

No range, practice facilities are not great, two nets to hit into, small putting green and chipping area a bit overgrown.
