18 Holes in Wicklow Golf Club

I had a very pleasant morning in Wicklow Golf Club. A friend of mine is a member so I availed of the reduced green fees.  It was very uncrowded so we had a relaxing four hours.

Accuracy is rewarded on this course.  In my case the opposite applied.  Between water, gorse and scrub there are lots of opportunities to lose golf balls.  At the end of the round my golf bag was quite a bit lighter!

There’s a lovely variety of holes with wonderful views over the sea and the Wicklow Mountains.  The course is quite hilly (especially the back 9).  By lunchtime I had certainly worked up an appetite.

We had a very pleasant lunch in the clubhouse over looking the Irish Sea.

I’m looking forward to playing here again.
