Played a bit over the last couple of seasons and would say the 2 best courses in close proximity to each other are woodenbridge and macreddin.

Work those in to a 2 day break and it will be unforgettable.

Make sure ye get a buggy for macreddin!!!

Golfing trips.......i used to go on those....then i got married:(
from what i remember of them(not much after 10pm ish!!)was a good 5 days in waterford/wexford.played twice in Rosslare and the 3 courses around Dungarvan.
Bargains wise,i remember there was a great deal on the 3 courses in Dungarvan and the Dungarvan park hotel was a nice base,super food and very reasonable.
To be honest any time a chap can get away with his mates for a few days anywhere is good imo:)....
im jealous:(:(

+1 for Headfort

Boardsdeal today is for the headfort arms too - 69 for 2 people B&B - play old course one day and new course the next!

Mount Wolseley in Tullow is a beautiful course. Midweek green fee only €25 too. Plus it has a 4 star hotel attached. pricey for rooms i think.

+1 for Headfort. The old course is good but personally I'd play the new course twice. When we were there, they had a beach party in the niught club attached to the hotel. We decided to go dressed as 3 golfers! Great crack.

Two fine courses alright. Was in arklow last week on a break with the girlfriend and i managed to get away for a game in woodenbridge. Very scenic course and in great condition. Greens were just perfect. Its not the longest but well worth playing.

Had a nightmare in macreddin a couple of months ago. Couldnt hit a fairway to save my life. Found it very penal. I would hit balls off the first par 3 all day. Its a course you really should try play if you havent already.

There both not far from arklow. I have notions of using Arklow as a base sometime again.
There's arklow golf course itself which i think got a decent review in hooked and if you want to splash the cash there's a rolls royce of a course in the European club 5 mins up the road. Played there during the 35 euro offer in the spring. Pure Class

They do some great package deals at the moment you can play mount juliet waterford castle and faithlegg for 123e pass is valid for a year! I done them n a 3 day golf break and stayed in the tower hotel in waterford 120 for the 2 nights in the hotel (which i shared so 60e each) breakfast both mornins and 3 course meal on the evening of our choice! Was great value and great golf mount juliet and faithlegg are 2 seriously good courses top notch waterford castle not as nice but still worth a game!

sorry just seen u were from kilkenny and prob know about that deal Around lenister i would also recommend macreddin (amazing course but very tough) you will need a buggy!Tulfarris beside blessington is a great course and you can get a green fee for 20e or so. Druids heath in newtownmount kennedy is a nice course but its long and tough! If u were willing to travel to monaghan check out concra wood absolute cracking course possibly one of the nicest iv played in the last 2 years !:D

mikemanley

Didnt know about that deal cheers for that
