A hidden gem

Abbeyleix golf club is a hidden gem. A challenging and fun course with a great mix of par 5s and par 3s. Some really interesting dog-legs with plenty of elevation changes and sloped lies.

Friendly welcome and the food at the clubhouse was tasty and great value. We played 2 rounds over 2 days. Conditions were damp but didn't take away from the experience. Only potential area of improvement was the tee boxes - grass was quite long on the first day which wasn't ideal. Overall though an amazing experience - will be back for sure.

Great course, well kept - only one gripe

Enjoyed this course immensely. It’s beautiful, well kept and challenging… got a bit of stick from the staff about playing off the white tees which wasn’t mentioned to us before we set out. Tbh, I thought a group of greens fee paying visitors would be able to play off the long tees and if the long tees weren’t in use, maybe they should have been removed? My brother and I are 2 long enough players so we found that a little frustrating. Great course. Good value

Lovely course we'll worth a visit

Beautiful course lady in the office was so nice and helpful.
Highly recommend
Just keep in mind it's quiet tricky and has a good few steep hills. Golf gps watch would have been way more helpful than my bushnell range finder due to the fact there was so many hills.will definitely play again a great test
