Course Description
|
. |
Designed by the late Eddie Hackett Raffeen Creek is a 9-hole course built on land owned by the Pfizer group on the shores of Monkstown Creek. Measuring 5,098 m Par 70 and a standard scratch of 67 off the back stakes. It may be short but it is a demanding course to test the best of golfers. As one would expect from its name water plays a major part at this course, coming into play at the back of the 2nd and 4th the 8th a dogleg left the tee shot is all over water and along the left requiring an accurate and smart approach shot. The feature hole is the 9th only 129 m off the back tee its water all the way to an elevated green with a steep bank at the back of it. Visitors are always welcome at Raffeen Creek Golf Club. |
