| Description |
A new course in a very old estate. Jack Nicklaus designed this course in 1991 but set, as it is, amidst the 1500 acre parkland of the Mount Juliet estate, built and named for the wife of the first Earl of Carrick, with its mature woodland it looks as if it has been around for a long time. Water is the word here: the third is played from an elevated tee across a lake to an elevated green; the 13th and the 14th both use a stretch of water to protect the green and the 18th skirts another lake down the left hand side. David Frost took a 10 here in the opening round of the Irish Open in 1993.
You can come and just play the golf course and, if you like parkland courses, there are few better but really Mount Juliet is about luxury and relaxation: fishing, riding, archery, clay pigeon shooting, tennis, sauna, steam room and body therapies with good food and gracious accommodation in a wonderful Georgian mansion. |
