The Heritage
Much of the attention focused on The Heritage Golf Resort concentrates on the Seve Ballesteros design . It is little wonder . The enigmatic Seve still conjures up all that is enthralling about the game of golf . And plenty of that can be found here .
Golfers are met by the statue of the great man and the stylish clubhouse . If you want to glimpse two of the resort ’ s best holes head around to the right , past the new Pro shop , and marvel at the two greens perched on either side of a stunning lake . These are the 9th and 18th . It ’ s some finish to each nine .
FAVOURITE HOLE
The par four 18th is such a strong finishing hole , curving gently left around the water which threatens off the tee and on the approach .
WHAT ’ S IN THE BAG ?
You ’ ll need to drive well for the whole day .
Water sparkles here but it is only one of the challenges you ’ ll face : this is a long course with holes flowing over the gently shaped Co . Laois countryside , weaving between an intimidating array of complex bunkers and a maturing army of trees . Be grateful that landing areas are generous and there ’ s a good choice of tees .
