Favourite Hole: Plenty to choose from but the par
four 3rd kickstarts the round with a hole dropping
quickly and doglegging out to the lough. The start
of many thrills.
What's in the Bag? Keeping your head down and
not being distracted by the views… good luck doing
that on the 10th.
Concra Wood
Only opened in 2008, Concra Wood is one of Ireland’s youngest and
highest quality parklands… there would be few who would dispute it
also has the most beautiful setting of any inland course. Set on the
shores of Lake Muckno, holes and water are deeply entwined, rarely
apart for long and sublime when their embrace tightens. On three
occasions you could find yourself hitting over the lake’s waters. The
elevation changes are significant, promising mesmerising views and
countless tempting tee and approach shots. Your shot to the 10th
green is one you will be desperate to hit perfectly so you can watch
it soar before it falls to the putting surface far below. Designed
by the O’Connor duo (Sr and Jr), this is golf on a big and spacious
scale. Holes move freely over sweet, tree-drenched landscapes,
introducing you to the lake on several holes. Expect all the smart
touches of such a professional course, especially the greens.
