Given the incredible natural landscape of the estate, it was obvious for Kirby to make use of the indigenous features as hazards. As such, the River Rine, and the numerous lakes, marshes and woodland are all obstacles that visiting golfers must negotiate.
For those familiar with Irish golf, Carr and Kirby are also responsible for the awesome Old Head at Kinsale, so it should come as no surprise that since its redevelopment, Dromoland has been elevated into the exclusive group of ‘must play' courses in the country.
With all this on the site of one of the most luxurious estates around, there are few better choices for a fantastic golf break in Ireland.
The newly-established Dromoland Castle Golf Academy is superbly-equipped. During the summer, a large real-grass range is available to test out the conditions as you will find them on the fairways.
