Favourite Hole: The famous par three 15th is a
peach but the par four 13th rising up the slopes,
parallel with the driveway, gets our vote. The curve
of the fairway, the bunkering and the trees create a
perfect setting.
What's in the Bag? Finding putting surfaces that can
be out of view is key.
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.
