Newmarket-on-Fergus » Ireland Dromoland Castle The Dromoland Castle Golf & Country Club golf course on the Dromoland Estate is a captivating test of golf, surrounded by the wonders of the Irish countryside. It has been described as an experience never to be forgotten, presenting the pure challenge of golf to both professional and amateur alike. The 18 enchanting holes sweep through 410 acres of shady woodland, open rolling pasture, wild lakes and streams with the magnificence of a 16th century baronial castle presiding over the estate. In 2003, the par 72 championship parkland course was carefully redesigned and updated by renowned architect Ron Kirby and Irish golfing legend JB Carr. The course plays 6,824 yards for men and 5,242 yards for ladies. The signature 7th hole overlooking the lake and the castle has been retained with magnificent views from the tee box. The green is flanked by a water feature and shamrock bunker, creating a memorable par 3. Set in over 400 acres of mature woodland, the course rumbles over open rolling pasture, through the dense trees and brings natural lakes and streams into play constantly. With Shannon Airport only a 10-minute drive away on the motorway, Dromoland has never been so easy to access. Dromoland offers a great introduction to Irish golf and may also be an ideal venue for a final round when departing in the late morning or early afternoon.
