DESTINATION GOLF 2022
The Heritage
Much of the attention focused on The Heritage concentrates on the Seve Ballesteros design . It is little wonder . The enigmatic Seve still conjures up all that is enthralling about the game of golf . And plenty of that can be found at The Heritage .
The course opened in 2004 , and golfers are met first by the statue of the great man and then the stylish clubhouse . If you want a glimpse of two of The Heritage ’ s best holes head up to the balcony and look down on the stunning lake with the 9th and 18th wrapped on either side . The course is laced with water but it is only one of the challenges you ’ ll face as holes flow over the gently shaped Co . Laois countryside , weaving between an intimidating array of complex bunkers .
This is a long course so be grateful that landing areas are generous and there ’ s a good choice of tees . The course is maturing steadily which only adds to the vibrancy . A hotel sits alongside .

Favourite Hole
The par four 18th is such a strong finishing hole , curving gently left around the water which threatens off the tee and on the approach .
