Powerscourt (East Course)

Dublin Spur

I'm due to play there shortly - Am I in for a treat ?

Is it considered the better of the 2 courses ?

Thanks in advance !

I prefer the west course. Is the east considered better? I wouldn't have thought so but don't known. They are both good.

Some very good holes on the East - at the start and finish - and very good greens, but the West is a better 18 in its entirety.

Is the East not the original, or am I getting them mixed up?

The one that starts by the clubhouse - and runs alongside the road in?

Yep, East is the original, beside the road. Great opening stretch.

Yes, I thought so. Much the better course of the two in my opinion. The West I remember mostly for its tricked up greens.
