“I enjoyed over 30 years on the European Tour, the Seniors Tour in
Europe and the United States and played in 2 Ryder Cups. I can
honestly say that the quality and variety of courses in the Boyne
Valley are on a par with anywhere I have been. It’s all here, from
courses to suit the big hitting young guns to the more leisurely
players, golfers of all ages and abilities will find a course that will
suit their game. I know that everyone will enjoy their golf in the
Boyne Valley and will look forward to coming back for another visit.”Des SmythFirst Irishman to win on the US Senior Champions Tour. Former Ryder Cup player and Ryder Cup 2006 Vice Captain

Members’ owned Par 72 Parkland course originally designed by Eddie Hackettand redesigned by Eddie Connaughton in 2008/2009. USGA standard greensand tees. A subtle blend of golf holes including lakes on 3, 5, 6, 13, 14 & 15along with remodelled fairways make this a challenging but fair test. Thepicturesque 3rd, 13th & 15th stand out, but you are spoiled for choice to choosea signature hole. A mix of well protected Par 4’s, tempting Par 5’s and testingPar 3’s make this course well worth a visit.

Rathcore Golf Course may be described as parkland but this would not do itjustice. It is nice to find a really good course that doesn’t have 8000 in its sights,but don’t be lulled - extra long it may not be, but it will test your game,especially around the greens. It has numerous natural springs that enable 12of the holes to have water features. Add to this the rolling hills, numerousmature trees, yellow furze and strong historical background and you indeedhave a golf course that can match any other for class. Under the direction ofMel Flanagan, this course has been moulded by Mick Lyons with emphasis onretaining the inherent charm of the surrounding area.
The magnificently constructed circular clubhouse draws its inspiration fromthe ring forts located on the course. It has been cleverly sunk below the levelof the adjoining 18th fairway, leaving only the roof, upper floor and verandavisible from the course.
