Favourite Hole : The 1st hole is a cracking par five which shows off much of the course from the high tee . The hole drops quickly and sweeps through the trees .
What ' s in the Bag ? The ability to deal with some deliciously unpredictable terrain .
Royal Curragh
In 2013 , The Curragh uncovered proof that it was the oldest golf club on the island . They used that opportunity to revive their ‘ Royal ’ prefix . It has given a unique club a deservedly higher profile . The free-draining soil means play is possible all year round , although the spring / summer months may prove most attractive when the gorse is in full bloom . It is both alluring and a fair warning of the risks of going too far offline . Realistically , that shouldn ’ t happen as there is space to play . There are plenty of changes in elevation and those bumpy , heathland-like fairways and natural greens mean every single shot is an adventure . The sheep that once roamed the course are now mere spectators .
