They were doing a bit of spring cleaning, to be expected. felt like we had the course to ourselves. Different layout than what I’m used to but easy enough with posted signage. Plenty of terrain and hazards to make challenging and delightful.

Lovely course

Course in excellent condition for time of year.played 23dec .was initially met by a very friendly man in office who outlined the format of playing the 18holes due to a competition and winter time.nice layout ,had enjoyed here earlier in the summer but wasn't expecting course in such good condition. Played in high gusts and intermittent rain but was still enjoyable

Nice challenging course

The course was a good challenge. The greens we good but a little short of the quality offered at nearby Gort. The clubhouse has seen better days and I found the staff somewhat curt. However for the price I would definitely play it again.

Value for Money in Galway

A nicely laid out course. Perfect for a day out. The weather was excellent, 20 degrees. Excellent course for a society. Some quirky holes. Overall would highly recommend. For 25 Euro I can't think of a nicer test in Galway.

Nice course, shame about the signage

I arrived and couldn't find anywhere or anyone to get a score card for the course map. I started my round as a solo behind 3 teens in tracky bottoms and running shoes.. They kept me behind them the until the 6th when they stopped .. I eventually got lost looking for the 9th hole. I played the 18th thinking it was the 9th. And gave up trying and went to Loughrea Spa hotel for a pint...
