Glasson
Glasson ’ s driveway glides above the course ’ s best holes as they drift down to the edge of Killenure Bay … and one of the most stunning par threes in Ireland . To reach the tee you must cross the lake ’ s edge via a wooden walkway … before playing a tee shot over the lake itself . It is all carry . The hotel at the end of the driveway offers a mighty fine golfing package , too . Indeed , it is designed very much with golfers in mind . The expansive golf course was designed by Christy O ’ Connor Jr and opened in 1993 . It sits between Lough Ree and Killenure Bay , and water is always in view . Glasson ’ s great strengths come from its swaying landscape and strong variety of holes , as evidenced by the par threes and the five par fives .
