Tralee may have the most breath-taking coastline in Ireland which results in a backdrop to the golf course that is extraordinary. Teeing off the first you are already anticipating getting to the second hole to absorb the coastline. The first is a nice opener but no-one really gives it much thought, “let’s get to the coast as soon as possible”. What awaits at the second hole is one of the best an...

Carne is among the greatest links in the world but defies the metrics used to split hairs between the worlds greatest courses. Even the most eloquent golf writers and accomplished photographers fail to capture Carne with their words and pictures. Carne is one of those things in life no one can do for you as you have to make the journey there for yourself.

The course has been changed around since 2016 and the 1st hole mentioned in the above review is now the 13th and the 18th now becomes the 12th. Many more changes have been made since 2016 including our Course Manager becoming an R & A Scholar. Whilst I am biased being a member I can truthfully say the course has never been better in the 56 yrs I have been there. Every visitor comments on our green...

From the moment I drove, for the first time in August 2023, across the bridge I knew I was into something special. Single track road to the course across the whole island was worth the visit alone. I was greeted by the usual welcoming staff that you only find in Ireland. Played with a couple of guys from the 'North' who, familiar with the course, really looked after me, cost me a round in the ba...

Opened in 1894 this is a delightful course consists of 9 holes but with 11 greens. The course is located at the end of the Snake Pass in the High Peak and so is interestingly hilly. This affords beautiful views across the sourrounding countryside. The course has been in superb condition thoughout the summer and plays on full greens through the winter months. It is compact and well defended and wil...

The old 8th is now out of commission & the replacement in play. Time will tell how well this hole fits in. The new angle this necessitates and elevation it provides on the 9th tee makes this a more interesting hole, and the required shot into this green that Tom Doak detailed in his book “Anatomy of a Golf Course” is actually more relevant for me as long par 4 as a higher handicapper than it was...

This golf course like many others in the area is vastly overpriced, and clubhouse and staff bordering on pure snobbery. The club now seems to cater mainly for well off visitors. IF YOU ARE NOT ACTUALY PLAYING THE COURSE THERE IS NO CATERING OR SERVICE. MEMBERS AND PLAYING VISITORS ONLY.

Just played in the Mixed Open yesterday on the Lansdown course and I could wax lyrical all day, but simply put, golf just does not get any better than this. My credentials, played for 60 years, lowest handicap was 2, now 8, played all Open venues apart from Royal St. George’s (too far). The course is just superb, lovely club house, a great welcome from the staff, and the food is exactly what you w...

The course was fantastic, it was in great condition and the greens are impeccable. Not over challenging but still challenging enough and the layout is great. The staff were fantastic and really helpful and friendly, the club house is fine, a bit dated but fine but the views from the verandah were exceptional.
