Carlow Golf Club

GolfCarlow Golf Club is an inland links laid out in a former wild deerpark over undulating terrain with numerous elevated tees, several excellent doglegs, and small slick putting surfaces. Extensive, mature woods are a strong feature in a pleasant countryside setting where the unusually sandy soil has the bonus of allowing play all year round.

There are many long par 4's and the 16th, a very demanding two shotter played through a tunnel-like valley, has been chosen by Christy O'Connor Snr. as the foremost 16th hole in Ireland. The most pleasant and picturesque hole is the 6th, where the tee shot is played from the highest point on the course down to a sloping fairway below. To the left and right of the fairway lie two stone faced ringforts (raths) overgrown with adult beech trees. Many tee shots have been lost here, while local legend has it that the balls are taken by the "little people" of the raths or fairy rings.

Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know our Ireland trip was fabulous!!
Thank you so much!
Your recommendation to Adare Manor was a top tip!
I went to Ashford Castle as well, it was very very nice to, but my preference is still Adare Manor.
I just wish that I had booked 2 nights there instead of just one.
The B&Bs were TOP too! Especially the one in Kilkieren up in Galway. Barbara was lovely and couldn't have done more to make our stay memorable.
The Hillside House is definately one you can recommend to anyone!" -- Silke
