Rathfarnham
The newest member of Ireland’s 18-hole club, Rathfarnham
combines a variety of holes thanks to its 116 year evolution, and
a jump from 9 to 14 to 15 to 18 holes. 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 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. Picking your favourite hole will prove
quite a challenge. Enjoy the views from the top of the course.
