West Waterford Golf & Country Club

When one thinks of the quintessential Irish golf experience, few venues capture the essence as well as the West Waterford Golf & Country Club. Situated in the serene Coolcurmuck Valley near Dungarvan, the club offers an enchanting 18-hole parkland course. As you navigate through the greens, the riveting panorama of the Comeragh and Knockmealdown mountains offers a tranquil backdrop, especially evident in the course's front nine. To add an element of excitement, the river Brickey meanders alongside, daring golfers on a few of the back nine holes.

The course owes its inviting yet challenging design to Eddie Hackett, a renowned course architect. If you opt for a casual game, the course will oblige with its accommodating layout. However, golfers looking for a test of mettle can switch to the championship tees, extending the course to over 6,800 yards. This dual character of the course makes it a favourite among both weekend warriors and seasoned professionals. It's a course that adapts to your skill level, offering a variety of tees that make it equally challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all standards.

Founded in 1993, West Waterford has continued to enhance its offerings over the years. Beyond the greens, the clubhouse doesn't disappoint. With a well-stocked bar and a restaurant serving delectable fare, it serves as an inviting setting for golfers to unwind after a rewarding day on the links. For those in need of equipment or a more relaxed round, the club also offers trolley and buggy hire, allowing you to tailor your golfing experience to your personal preferences.

The West Waterford Golf & Country Club seamlessly combines the beauty of the Irish landscape with an adaptable and engaging course layout. As autumn leaves begin to color the scenery or spring flowers bloom along the Brickey, every visit offers a unique aesthetic experience. From its scenic mountain views to the winding river that adds a twist of challenge, West Waterford isn't just a place to golf; it's a destination that entices you to return time and time again.
