Slieve Russell

Forming part of a magnificent 300-acre estate, including 50 acres of lakes, the highly acclaimed 18-hole championship course at Slieve Russell incorporates the lakes and hills of the County Cavan landscape beautifully. The main features of the course are two large lakes which are connected by a stream. Water is, not surprisingly, a hazard on a number of holes. Slieve Russell has recently been voted as the best parkland course in Ireland for 2016 by 'The Irish Golfers Guide' & 4th Best parkland course in Ireland by 'Golfing Magazine'.

At over 7,000 yards from championship tees, it is a challenge for even the best players, but there are multiple teeing areas to allow players of all abilities to enjoy a round. The 13th is arguably the signature hole. It's a fantastic risk-reward par-5 that winds around Lough Rud. The danger with the tee shot is how much water you should take on in order to reduce the distance of the hole and potentially reach the green in two. The Lough is full of balls from players who were too greedy!

The Slieve Russell has hosted some major Irish PGA Tournaments. These include The Irish PGA Championship in 1996, won by Des Smyth, and also the Quinn Insurance PGA Charity Pro-Am. The Slieve Russell has also played host to European Tour events - North West of Ireland Open in 2001 & 2002.

The rooms have been refurbished since the last time I was here which was a really nice surprise as they used to have a very dated feel to them. Staff/food/drink all excellent and they had several screens with Sky Sports showing the Ryder Cup which was important for us.

They were a bit sort staffed with regards serving in the bar, wasn't the end of the world as we doubled up on drinks. The hotel itself was nice, the rooms could do with a bit of a touch up but it was perfect for us. No complaints on our end
