Castlecomer Golf Club,
Dromgoole, Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny
|
 |
Set in a 200 year old
forest, Castlecomer's Golf
course provides a great test of golf combined with
breath taking views of the local terrain.
Designed by Pat Ruddy.
In total thirteen new holes were incorporated into
the eighteen hole layout with tees and greens built
to USGA standards. The holes have sand based
fairways with irrigation built in. The construction
of the latter from the outset is rare for parkland
layouts in Ireland, but certainly ensures top class,
year round playing conditions, no matter what the
prevailing climatic conditions. |

Kilkenny itself is mostly flat terrain with
an abundance of trees. A feature of the course at
the 10th tee is the "Fluacht Fiadh", an ancient
Irish kitchen. This type of kitchen dates back to
the Bronze Age when these ancient cooking places
were horse show shaped mounds made-up of small
pieces of blackened stone and situated close to a
water source or in a marshy or formerly marshy
ground. |
