Rathfarnham
Favourite Hole: The par four 3rd fires out of the
trees onto a low fairway that curls right.
What's in the Bag? Holes change pace constantly…
so be patient.
Rathfarnham combines a variety of holes thanks to its 116 year
evolution, and a jump from 9 to 14 to 15 to 18 holes. It only
became an 18-hole course in 2014. There are dense evergreen
corridors and open hillsides, sweet ponds and lazy doglegs.
Despite these differences this short course has a highly
enjoyable rhythm – one where a driver is more of a hindrance
than a help. Six new holes opened officially in 2015 (three new,
three upgraded), and water plays a bigger part than ever in the
middle of the round with a number of holes clinging tightly to
the ponds.
