Promptly boned my wedge to the back of the green with pin at front. I shoulda gone for it

Anyway the grass is funny in thoses place- the little consolation I give myself, when trying to get to sleep looking at world golf courses. Thanks for putting that up - my day is ruined. 0 -

Are you saying it is not good?
It looked well yesterday in fairness considering the rain we have had!! It wouldn't be my first choice by any means but it's grand every now and then. Cheap and cheerful!!0 -

It's not that cheap really is it? I mean you could play Lee Valley/Blarney for cheaper than the Mahon rate.
I like the course though, it prob has 1 too many Par 3's (especially seeing as there is 4 in a 6 hole stretch), but then I suppose that is the fun of the course!0 -

Not saying its not good - but your photography skills seem very good ! Its a grand course - every now and then as you say. Like Ssbob I wouldn't call it cheap either though. Did you get the full round in after teeing off at 3pm ?0 -

I understand some of you are visiting this course over the weekend.
I'm originally a Tullamore man so I can guarantee you a treat.
Esker Hills 4th Hole, short but deadly Par 4
I once bet 3 visitors on the tee box that not one of them would do better than a 6 without even knowing their handicaps.
They all took me up for a tenner & I had 30 quid walking onto the next tee.0 -

Your front tee box is adjacent to that small lake bottom right, you can make out in the photo.
The hole flows from right to left along the bottom of the photo.
See where the cart path snakes in an s halfway along the fairway, that's your landing zone.
This is a u-shaped valley where they cut out the esker, it's not wide so I used hit a 3-wood if playing off the front sticks, always favour the left.
If you manage that you'll be left with this view below.
Probably something like a 7 or 8-iron but DON'T be short.
You're lucky the greens won't be running full speed this time of year cause it can almost be a lottery in summertime, you can sense the slope even from the photo.
I've seen guys slide 8 foot birdie putts just past & end up near that front bunker.
Best of luck.;)

I don't think that photo does the tee shot justice. It looks a lot tighter when you're standing on the tee box.
I also don't think the photo shows just how steep the walk up to your second shot is so you have to take into consideration that you feel like you've completed a full mountain hike while attempting your second shot.
Those helicopter shots almost make it look flat
I used love looking back on society's playing the 2nd hole not able to find the green until they realise it's 100 feet below them.
Biggest mistakes were people not allowing enough club for the severe rises in elevation.
I always remember having 155 yards to the green on the 12th & creaming a 4 iron only to see it come up short

Another Esker Hills head scratcher, the 14th

Green looking back
I played with a chap that actually drove the greenside bunker by mistake.
He hit a swinging hook off the tee not having a clue where he was going.0 -
