This spacious 18 hole Championship Golf Course is set in 220 acres of mature parkland in the grounds of one of Ireland's historic demesnes. The course is bordered by the rivers Main and Braid which come into play and include a magnificent oxbow feature and five impressive landscaped lakes.
This is truly an exciting course and offers both the novice and low handicapped golfer a stimulating challenge and a memorable round. Within the area of the golf couse are two historic monuments, Rory Oge MacQuillan Castle which overlooks and dominates the tenth green and a network of souterrains at the fifth and eighth greens.
At the rear of the Club House is the Golf Academy, incorporating the floodlit Driving Range with 24 bays, where the PGA staff have comprehensive practice and teaching facilities for golfers of all ages and experience.
