Favourite Holes: The par threes on 3 and 12 form a
perfect pair. Side by side and resting next to a wood of
broken trees.
What’s in the Bag? Not getting too comfortable with the
sweet, lazy pace of the course.
Athenry
A strong country parkland moving easily between the trees and
into a woodland setting for several holes. This is country golf
at its finest, with good maintenance, nice flourishes and one
enjoyable hole after another. The 1st hole skirts a fairy ring while
the 4th includes a woody dell. The closing holes are lost in pine
trees that create a moody finish but this is where the strongest
holes await. There are no elevation changes so it is left to the
trees and gently curling fairways to challenge you while greens
offer their own surprises. The course can play short so be sure to
play it from the back tees for the full experience – 5,859 metres,
par 70. A comfortable clubhouse awaits your return.
