Rathfarnham

Rathfarnham combines a variety of holes thanks to its 116 year evolution , and a jump from 9 to 14 to 15 to 18 holes . It only became an 18-hole course in 2014 . There are dense evergreen corridors and open hillsides , sweet ponds and lazy doglegs .

Despite these differences this short course has a highly enjoyable rhythm – one where a driver is more of a hindrance than a help . Six new holes opened officially in 2015 ( three new , three upgraded ), and water plays a bigger part than ever in the middle of the round with a number of holes clinging tightly to the ponds .

The par four 3rd fires out of the trees onto a low fairway that curls right .
