The new layout at Balcarrick is excelent. Ther is a lot of water to be avoided and there are some chalanging par 3's on the front nine. Overall the course if very fair and a great challange to the average golfer.

A very challenging course with plenty of water hazards and bunkers to avoid during the round. Greens in excellent condition and well kept fairways and tees. Plenty of wildlife around too to add to the "escape from the city" feel. During our round we say Swans, Geese, rabbits, hares and a frogs. Recommend a trip to this course strongly.

 

Excellent Greens
