It's one of the few course I've played that I didn't enjoy. The start is interesting but all downhill from there. Wouldn't return.

The greens are quite wide, but there’s rarely any depth to them – which makes them bloody tough to hit.

There’s a par 3 around the 4th or 5th that a strong contender for worst hole in Ireland. 150 yards into a housing complex.

There are some good holes around the middle when the sea comes into view, but by and large it’s just not a course I could warm to.

The manager asked me after my round how I'd enjoyed the course... I had nothing to say. A fun first hole and not a lot else.

Only ever played there during the summer and conditions were ok but can be boggy in places so not sure now would be a good time.

They usually aren't that busy even in the summer considering it's location so you should have plenty of room.

It's not a nice course, as the wobbler said, you play one hole into someones back garden, then tee off from someone elses front lawn in the middle of a street with kids cycling by.

There is a par 3 wher you tee off from the top of a hill, you play it over the corner of the garden of a mansion trying to avoid the gates and you can only see half the green due to a bush.

I have heard rumours that Courtown gets very wet, even tho its near the sea..?
havent played it myself so cant really comment.
but if your looking for real class, go to Bunclody.:D Its <20mins drive past past if your heading south

I'd prefer to play Wexford. Worth the extra drive.

Unless its snowing.
