Pro Tips
The course begins with a relatively easy par 5, slightly doglegged. The landing area for the drive is generous; but even so, unless you are going for the green in 2, favour the left off the tee.
The longer hitters may elect to drive straight down the middle leaving a long iron to the green. The percentage play is a solid second shot out to the right leaving a full shot to the Green. A narrow green runs lengthwise, so that any shot hit over the bunker in front must bite and stop quickly.

The course, built on land of geological significance, was inhabited in past centuries, and the earliest of Irish maps indicate this.
