Comments: Complete luxury... Like Mount Juliet for comfort, but course not as good... Condition out of this world...Too expensive and exclusive. .. Doesn't feel like Irish golf . . . Who wants this when you can have some of the great Dublin courses nearby... Not much of a craie here. . .Generous fairways and greens - too easy. .. Condition first class. . . Never seen fairways and greens so good. . .Watch out for Amen Corner.

Comments: Not as good as nearby County Down but a cracker... Mountains of Mourne form a marvelous canvas for shots. .. Forget the bump-and-run of nearby County Down, you need to hit them high here. .. Get to the turn in good shape and you should score well... Nice welcome... This and Greenore give excellent, good­value golf.
