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.
