Powerscourt (East)
The older of the two Powerscourt courses, the East, opened in 1996.
Golfers can expect an exciting start (much like the majestic drive into
the estate), a terrific finish and superb greens throughout. There are
impressive views – on the back nine especially – but your attention
will need to be on the course at all times. This is a challenging par
72, measuring 5,930 metres (middle white tees) and it will test you all
day long… especially on the beautifully contoured greens. Seriously,
if you want to put your putting to the test, step this way. The natural
shape of this elegant landscape has been used to enhance its best
features. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the par four 4th,
7th and 18th, where the naturally high tee boxes promise tempting
fairways below. The par threes are also strong, with the 3rd and 16th
particularly outstanding.
