Monkstown
fine , mature and peaceful parkland awaits at Monkstown , But this is a gentle , embracing affair and its length makes it fun
A just south-east of Cork city . Trees define holes from the start and accessible for everyone . The front nine deliver a steep and and as a short course you ’ ll find those trees prove unexpected drop down to a green ( the 3rd ) before rising sharply over-protective time and again . Careful judgement is required back up ( the 5th ). There ’ s a modern and plush clubhouse , too , off the tee and the best hole on the course – the par four 10th – but keep an eye on your left as you play the 7th , for this is calls for two razor sharp shots , first through a tricky dogleg in the Monkstown Castle ( 1636 ) which was once the clubhouse . trees and then to a perched green sitting above water .

Favourite Hole
The par four 10th is beautiful to the eye as it plays over a hollow
before doglegging out of sight between the trees .
What ’ s in the Bag ?
If you can ’ t control your driver , leave it in the bag .
