    Well played rcd last Friday. Beautiful day. No mats or dropping off fairway so delighted with that.
    Played off the yellow/forward tees.
    Honestly can't rate rcd above tralee/ballyb/waterville or lahinch.
    No spectacular holes imo.
    No holes along the coast so not as stunning scenery as I was expecting.
    Clubhouse is stunning mind.
    Will have to play it mid summer to truly rate it as rough will be more penalizing.
    Overall disappointing for a number 1 in the world course

    I’m not sure I would put RCD into my top 10 in the country.

    I would have to agree. I was so looking forward to it but it was a major let down.
    Would add further doubt to how these rankings are done

    No spectacular holes? What about the 4th? 9th?
    13th?
    Ive only ever played it in summer time but find it as spectacular a course there is.

    13th is very good alrite. 9 and 4 are good holes wouldn't rank them as spectacular in my opinion.
    I suppose my expectations were very high considering it was ranked no 1 in the world.
    Personally I've played 5-10 courses in Ireland alone that I would rate higher
