The West Waterford Golf Club is built on 150 acres of rolling parkland
on the banks of the Brickey river with the backdrop of the Comeragh
Mountains to the east, the Knockmealdowns to the north and Drum Hills
to the south. An interesting feature is that the first nine holes are
laid out on a large plateau featuring a lovely stream that comes into
play at the 3rd and 4th holes. The Brickey River traverses the
southern boundary and features the 2nd, 12th, 14th, 15th and 16th
holes which make these very challenging golf holes.
The imposing clubhouse overlooks the course with fine views from the
upstairs bar. A very friendly and welcoming course it is a fine
example of Irish hospitality.
WATERFORD CASTLE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
Waterford Castle Golf Club, Ireland's only true Island course, is
situated in the estuary of the River Suir, one mile downstream of
Waterford City. To gain access to the course you have to cross the
water by ferry.
It is an 18-hole Par 72 course of full Championship standard, designed
by a team headed by Des Smyth, former Ryder Cup player and a current
member of the European tour and of late finding success on the Seniors
Tour. With sand-based tees and greens and a full irrigation system to
tees, greens and fairways, the course also features many mature
plantations, a number of artificial lakes to add to the beautiful
parkland setting, and superb bunkering, strategically placed to test
the long hitter. At 6,790 yards off the back tees, the course will
present a real challenge for the discerning golfer wishing to test his
skill in a magnificent location. For ladies the 5,550 yard course is
equally demanding and rewarding....
