Shouldn’t be open

2 hrs 40 mins for 8 holes. Absolutely shocking. Course was still waterlogged and only playing sporadic holes. Couldn’t even go out again for the second 9 as there were queues and at near 3 hours for 9 holes, definitely not .

In great condition

Only thing ruined it was the pace of play. Finally got rid of a extremely slow three ball as they only played the front nine, but by the 11th we had to wait on average 5-10 mins on every tee box. But nice course

Good 9 hole course with some lovely views

Don’t generally play 9 hole courses but this is a nice wee course with some nice holes. Playing twice was no issue and allowed to correct some mistakes from the first 9. We would definitely recommend it and will definitely be back.
Temporary green on the first and mats on fairways but it’s winter so to be expected

A good course and lovely views

A few “ next hole this way signs” wouldn’t go a miss. Nice course but we got lost on several holes so this addressed would of made it much more enjoyable.
This aside it was a very nice course with some lovely views. Definitely recommend

Lovely course

We were held up a bit but it was a busy Sunday and I have played before when we haven’t been held up and it was much more enjoyable. But a good course and worth a visit

Great course in great surroundings. And definitely a course you need a few rounds in to get the read of it

Not for a Saturday afternoon

The course was in great condition to be fair. My only gripe is that it’s very compact with greens and tee boxes very close etc. And unfortunately on the Saturday we were there, they are encouraging kids to play but they were everywhere and cutting holes etc to the point where people had to walk off.
I would go back mid week but give it a wide birth on a Saturday

Lovely course

We thought the course was lovely and very scenic. Our only gripes were that I have never seen so many lawnmowers and tractors operating during play. We had one hole with peace and quiet and the rest we were held up waiting on the lawnmower to move out of our way or they sat beside the greens with engines revving or beside tee boxes with tractors with huge blowers clearing leaves. It was really quite annoying and off putting. Also as we came near the end and close to the club house we were cut up by members who obviously only wanted to play a few holes but had no etiquette and held us up. All in all a great course and lightning quick greens but a few issues ruined it for us.

Nice course

Course was lovely but let down by some members playing extremely slow and without the decency or etiquette to let people through, even when they were a four ball, and there were two people in a buggy which had to skip holes to get round them.
Again, not the course to fault but it reflects if this is the members attitude.

Very well maintained and ascetically pleasing

The course was well maintained and very pleasant on the eye. The greens were in great condition and very quick. I will definitely be playing here again.

Disappointing

After arriving and seeing the beautiful surroundings and perfectly manicured course I was full of anticipation. Unfortunately this was soon shattered when we were guided around the back of the clubhouse and out of site to a very poor second 9 hole course. The layout was terrible with no direction signs leading to several parties playing the wrong holes. There were no distance markers even though they were explained on the card? The greens were very punctured with a lot of sand. So all in all a very dissapointing experience.

Sorely dissapointed

After arriving and seeing the extremely beautiful surroundings and manicured course we were then guided around the back of the club house and away from all this to a very poor second. The nine hole edenderry course has no distance markers even thought they are explained on the card? The layout is terrible and there isn't even one next tee sign to help, leading to us playing the wrong holes along with other people doing the same and In general the greens were very punctured and sandy. Dissapointed to say the least .

Challenging

It was a tight and challenging course with lots of blind shots, a bit confusing sometimes as it's very compact and lots of holes are entwined but overall an excellent course, I would defenitly play it again.
