Course Description:

Ballyheigue Castle Golf Course with nine championship standard golf holes laid-out on approximately 100 acres (40 hectares) of beautiful rolling parkland surrounding an 18th. Century Castle overlooking the magnificent Ballyheigue beach with its white sand and Brandon mountain in the distant background. The course is 3110 m. long with 2 par 3, 2 par 5, and 5 par 4 holes and trees in abundance, which makes for a very mature setting.

This magnificent course will satisfy the demands of the very best golfers with holes varying in length from 170 metres to 490 metres, it can also be the perfect introduction to the game of golf. It is therefore ideal for the newcomers to improve or for the experienced players to sharpen up their game.

This course opened in 1995 and a new second green will be opened in 2002,this new green is situated between two lakes which will make for very interesting golf. The clubhouse has both ladies and gents changing facilities. Refreshments and golf accessories are available also. Ballyheigue Castle opened their fine new Clubhouse in June 2003.
