| Dermot Gilleece, the eminent Irish Times
golf journalist wrote “ The crowning glory of the layout is
the attention to detail. Bunkering, contouring, featured stone
work and environmentally friendly wetlands are finished to the
highest standards.” Our 18 hole championship golf course was
designed by Ireland’s renowned golf architect, Patrick J.
Merrigan. The imaginative use of the natural landscape to blend
an exciting design into an excellent golf layout is evident throughout
the course. No two holes are alike. The Tulfarris Course is already
recognized as one of Ireland’s top golf courses. The course
is set on three peninsulas overlooking the Lakes at Blessington.
The ponding and the wild grasses on the course are an extension
of the lake shore itself. Caddy and Club Car hire are available. |
