The Farnham Estate Golf Course is well positioned in the Top 100 courses in Ireland and offers golfers of varying abilities an exciting and infinitely enjoyable way to spend the day in the Cavan countryside. This stunning parkland course is sprawled over 500 acres of lush, undulating countryside that is broken up by dense, ancient woodland.
Golfers are eased into the round on the front nine which winds its way through the meadows of the estate while the back nine offers a sterner examination of the player’s skill. Although bunkers are not rife around this course, each one that does pop up is intelligently placed and must be avoided in order to score well. Accuracy from the tee is paramount as lengthy rough and rugged woodland can be very penal if the golfer strays too far from the short stuff.
As well as the aforementioned obstacles golfers must also contend with a meandering stream and no less than seven lakes; the most prominent of which is found as early as the 4th hole which is arguably the signature hole on the course.
This par 72 course can stretch up to 7,065 yards in length which will be more than enough to challenge even the longest hitters while forward tees reduce the course to a more manageable 6,310 yards which enables less experienced players to enjoy the many delights of this parkland gem.
