This is one of Ireland's best and most challenging links. It may have something to do with its intoxicating air, breathtaking scenery and the last massive six holes.
Designed by Eddie Hackett, this is as tough a challenge as you are likely to find anywhere, with the par of 72 seldom matched. The back nine have been described as 'the equal of any in the world'....

Established 1899 Carlow is a set in a wild deerpark with elevated tees, excellent dog legs and slick putting surfaces. There are many long par 4s and the 18th is the most spectacular finishing hole in Ireland. Sandy subsoil makes Carlow playable twelve months of the year and the course is invariably in good condition.

Its qualities are further enhanced by the water hazards at the 2nd, 10th and 11th. A relatively short course, there are only two par 5s - one of which is the 18th....

This undulating course, adorned with mature and graceful trees offers a good test of golf by any standard. Situated close to lovely Lough Derg and the River Shannon, Portumna is a very enjoyable course to play for all abilities.
