Favourite Hole: Holes 12 and 13 are two short par fours,
with both of them set to make you look a fool… but the
joke’s on Enniscrone, because you just won’t care.
What's in the Bag? Trust your instincts on the blind
holes and use bump-and-run where possible. This is not
a course where you want to go over the green.
Grange
Grange is an old, revered and charming Dublin parkland, designed
by none other than James Braid. It is just three years older than
nearby Castle, but it has a very different rhythm. The variety of
exceptionally attractive trees and terrain means you will find
constant shifts in pace, shape of holes and the challenges that
face you. Grange boasts an open woodland feel, something
emphasised by the pretty wood which divides the course, and
holes demand accurate and intelligent golf as they drift around
the trees. It is a quality and colourful course, right next to Marlay
Park, with a striking clubhouse, additional holes and a surprising
sense of peace given its Rathfarnham location. The club’s
practice areas are receiving a substantial upgrade, which all add
to the quality of this fine course.
