Bunclody Golf & Fishing Club – County Wexford
Bunclody Golf & Fishing Club is one of Ireland’ s most scenic and enjoyable parkland courses, set along the banks of the River Slaney in County Wexford. Designed by Jeff Howes, the course blends rolling fairways, mature woodland, and beautifully elevated tee boxes that offer sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Its signature feature, the unique elevator taking players from the 17th green to the 18th tee, adds a memorable touch not found anywhere else in Ireland. Bunclody is known for its thoughtful layout, balancing strategic play with forgiving landing areas, making it enjoyable for golfers of all abilities. The par 3s are particularly strong, framed by tall trees and natural water features that test precision and club selection. The welcoming clubhouse provides a warm atmosphere, excellent dining, and impressive views across the course.
In addition to Clody Lodge in the village, the newly opened hotel onsite which opened in 2025 is already proving popular.
