The course may be described as parkland but this would not be sufficient. The defining features of this 18 hole golf course are the 2 ring forts, the motte and the numerous natural springs that enable 12 of the holes to have water features. Above is the 1st hole showing the ring fort that must be taken into account when teeing off. The second shot will have to navigate a pond on the left hand side of the fairway.

Add to this the rolling hills, numerous mature trees, yellow furze and strong historical background and you indeed have a golf course that can match any other for class. Under the direction of Mel Flanagan (Irish Golf Design) this course has been moulded by Mick and Austin Lyons with emphasis on retaining the inherent charm of the surrounding area. All greens have been shaped by Ollie Sutton who has worked on some of the finest courses in Ireland.
