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 .
