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.
