Cork Golf Club — Local services in Municipal District of Cobh

Full disclosure - I am a novice golfer hitting over 100. I had heard a lot about Cork Golf Club, about how good it was and how tough it was. I was a bit conditioned I suppose when I tee'd off at a work golf society in July 2019. Wow! What a course. It is so well laid out, the greens and fairways are amazing and the view of the middle harbour is amazing. It's a repurposed quarry and the front 9 are almost links like in places. If you are good it tests you well. If you are like me it's great fun - prepare to lose some balls. I won closest to the pin on the 13th with 6 feet 6 inches which I birdied.

Quite pleasant and relaxing to walk and love playing the round in a windy and misty rain typical irish condition. I will play again when I come...

Founded in 1888 this is the oldest of four golf clubs near Cork city which were all established in the late 1800's and early 1900's. It is generally regarded as the best of the city courses and is an 18 hole 6,230 metre parkland course which has a par of 72.

A number of holes on the first nine are quite scenic as they run beside or close to the River Lee which connects Cork harbour to the city. It is the longest of the Cork city courses and sets a good challenge for even the most...
