Never played it fix, but from your description sounds like it would potentially be a nice fit for a Boards Outing in 2015

Would be absolutely perfect for an Outing Space.
Played with himself today and I'm still "on" the course. Playing a few holes differently in my mind though

I'd go as far as saying it was my most enjoyable round of the year.

Would disagree re the need for a water feature or two. The contours of the land are enough. I would go the other way and say that I'd nearly prefer it without bunkers. There are enough natural undulations in and around the greens (throughout the course too) that it nearly was a shame to see a manmade feature interrupt things.

Rough was a bit too forgiving but I wasn't complaining

Can't believe I waited so long to play it and can't wait to get down again.

Intermediate cup the Sun Sept 7th. I'll be going if you're interested?

Would be perfect Space.

Cheap - worth the trip - unusual.

Good food , not too hard , nice cubhouse, great access from M50 - M7 - M9.

As hard it is to say i'll have to give it to the curragh, even thought they could do with shorting the 17th for us pitch & putters:).

Couldn't let you be the only man walking off with a bird on the day!!

Lovely 2 for yourself.

The course chewed us up & spat us out today. A pleasure to play, pity bout the scoring

cgh · 08-09-2014 08:00AM

if only i could have holed a putt.

finished with a Nett 74.
I also three putted 10 times...... which is shocking

Just a thought here,

is the Curragh worth paying the €950 a year in annual subs.

I'mk thinking of mybe joining in the new year,

what do peeps think??

Sheet, you must be pleased that this post has ridden the wave!

CarefulNow! · 11-09-2014 09:09PM

I was a member there for 17 years and loved every year of it! Great course, members, decent facilities. If its local to you I'd recommend it

cgh · 12-09-2014 10:46AM

its not that local,

I have choices, Im a member in The Heath, have portlaosie, Portarlington, The Heritage, Dumurray Springs, Mountrath, castle barna and tullamore all within a 30 minute drive.

I'm a big fan of the curragh have to say.

CarefulNow! · 12-09-2014 11:56PM

Unfortunately I moved to north co Dublin, if I hadn't I'd never have left. Its a great test of golf, especially now.

cgh, I was a member there up until the beginning of this year. I absolutely loved it. The only reason I moved was because of the distance from home. When Palmerstown came up, I simply had to move to it as it's only five mins from home. The Curragh was more than 25 mins away - both ways - and made a few holes in the evening or work on the range a bit more difficult to get in. But that's the only reason I moved.

The members are great, the food is good, the clubhouse has a nice warm, welcoming feel to it, and you have one of the best pros in the country in Gerry Burke. What's not to like!?!

I'd give it careful consideration.

Royal Curragh?
