hypnotic open flow of Moyvalley is countered by the denser , fast moving variety of New Forest ’ s estate terrain . They make a fine pair when it comes to compare-and-contrast parklands .
Another special mention should be made for Glasson Lakehouse , 40 minutes west of New Forest . The resort is currently implementing one of the biggest investments in Irish golf , completely upgrading its most famous holes ( 14 to 18 ) while also making changes to the hotel overlooking Lough Ree . There are big plans here and the golf course is due to re-open in early summer . For those concerned about the famous par three 15th … never fear , the hole will still be a daunting shot across the edge of the lough . Always bring a second ball to the tee !

Always bring a second ball to the tee !

There aren ’ t many golf resorts that stand alone and by that we mean that anywhere you find a resort you will find other golf courses in the vicinity . Slieve Russell and Farnham Estate are perfect examples where the resort sits alone in the Irish countryside but there are other courses not too far away . Indeed , the two are only 24 kilometres apart but the resorts themselves are quite different . Slieve Russell has a family friendly vibe , with a spa , tennis courts , a 9-hole putting course , a par three 9-hole course , exceptional practice facilities and the big championship venue … all of which have contributed to it being designated PGA National Ireland , one of only eight PGA National designated resorts in the world .
