Guess the course from the map

Par72

Hi Guys, I thought it might be mildly entertaining to upload maps of different Irish courses and see if we can identify the courses from the maps. I'm sure some of them would be dead easy but there are bound to be difficult ones too. Perhaps if they are proving difficult then clues could be given.

Most club's websites have a map of the course which you can save to your computer by right clicking and selecting "save image as". If you need to know how to upload pictures to the boards a guide can be found here

Ok, so here's the first one. Maybe once it is guessed, someone can put up another one.

Woodbrook?!

Yeah well done! I didn't think anyone would get it that quickly! I'll have to look for a more obscure one.

Heres one:

Trampas

Edmonstown?

That flag on 9th and spare green can be very off putting.

We had a group or 2 who ended up playing to the spare green instead of the 9th

Par72

Yeah looks like it's Edmondstown alright! You guys are good. Here's another.

Still haven't got the foggiest! What county is it in?

PhilipMarlowe

Trampas one is definitely Kilkenny.

Adding a couple below with spoilers (highlight/select the text to reveal)

Blainroe in Wicklow

---

Rosslare in Wexford

dnjoyce

first one looks like blainroe, never played corballis but it must be a contender for the second one given all the short holes?(didn't read post fully!)

Blainroe is spot on for the first one.
Second one is not done to any scale so some holes look short alright but it's a 6,800 yard par 72 course, not corballis.

I agree George.

Par72

Well, this thread died on it's @ss! Guys, I think maybe more clues are needed for those ones. A bit too tricky!

Here's one that I think should be slightly easier.

Doubt it's seapoint no baltray beside 16th tee box or no houses on the course

Par72

No, it's not Seapoint. It's not in counties Dublin or Louth.

Well done jimboddb! It is Tralee.

Here's another...

PhilipMarlowe

That's Woodenbridge isn't it? struggled with it for a while but recognised it from the 8th, the par 3 over the river...

PhilipMarlowe

This one shouldn't be too difficult either, in Leinster

Par72

Yes Licksy, my one was Woodenbridge. I reckon the one you put up is Mount Wolseley.

Here's another one ...

madds

Pretty sure that's Castleknock Par72? Played it for the first time last Sunday...

PhilipMarlowe

Mount Wolseley was correct

Carton - O'Meara, played last week, nice course, although the greens look a very un-natural green colour..
