Castlemartyr
There are no more than a few courses in Ireland which were designed as inland ‘ links ’… and Castlemartyr is the last of them . It has that low rhythmic flow that makes links golf so enjoyable , but the wind will be far less of a burden here as you target the generous fairways and silken greens . It is elegant golf . The boundary of the course is deep woodland which highlights the stark openness of the fairways . Your draw or fade will rarely be threatened so you can open the shoulders and drive to your heart ’ s content . But , a word of warning , the bumps and ridges bordering fairways are home to deep rough … they are not to be trifled with . There is also a small creek which runs across several holes . Castlemartyr is a shortish course ( par 72 , 6,262 yards , middle tees ) – on the front nine especially – which has been well routed around the resort ’ s magnificent five star hotel . This luxurious ‘ Manor House ’ dates back to the 17th century .
