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 thiselegant 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 .
