Takes a bit of local knowledge to get here thank goodness for Google maps. Course in great order and views of the first few holes of the Mournes beautiful. Plays well this time of year given most courses get boggy due to rainfall. Some great holes that will test the wayward drivers like myself.

The course itself is in good condition but the greens are as dead as a Dodo! The greens here used to be quite pacy. They're not now!

Fantastic course. Very friendly and welcoming with amazing views, great golf and a beautiful rugged setting. Course is in great condition. It's off the beaten track, but don't be put off. Well worth the trip. I seriously cannot recommend this place highly enough.
