Course Description:
This enticing parkland challenge was designed by Patrick Merrigan, who believes that "the design solution is in the landscape" and he, sensitively integrated the course into the landscape texture with mature trees, rolling parkland and no less than five lakes. The clubhouse, a tastefully remodeled coach house for the stately 18th century Faithlegg House provides fine food and wine and enjoys uninterrupted views of the charming course. This classic site on the banks of the River Suir, backed by the period residence is ideal for players. Societies are welcome and group rates are available.
