1From the first tee you are looking at Orchard Woods to your right. You will be playing uphill with the fairway sloping sharply to the right.At the landing area players should favouThis hole has no bunkers as hazards- the sloping fairway and uphill grade gives us a nice opening hole.The green has been placed at the top of the hill and is very receptive to run up shots or high lofted shots. The green shape provides for friendly pin placements and the back right2A reverse of the standing hole, here we have a friendly down hill Tee shot where the slope feeds the ball out to the left and opens the visibility to the green.The first fairway bunker at 185 yards carry from back Tees, sets up the direction for the player. The left side of the fairway is the prime landing zone.The approach shot to the green is long and demanding. Two bunkers along the left side should show you that the right side to green is the perfect line.3This is a strong one shot hole from the back tee and friendly from the forward tee positions.The Green side bunker on your left is to direct players away from entrance road that skirts along the fairway.The Green is set into trees and shaped with a longer back right challenge area.4Generally this should play as a friendly three shot hole, but as we know, golf is not a game of generalities!!This hole has been extended to a Par 5. Playing with a steady uphill grade, the new Tees set up a tight Tee shot over a low valley area – One fairway bunker on your left side is The approach to the green is set up with a low swale across the front and a deep green side bunker protects the left half of the green.5A well defended green and tight pin positions will provide the challenge to par on this hole.The fairway slopes right to left so that tee shots on the left side have the difficult approach.A 200 yard carry will open up a receptive second shot to a well bunkered green. The right side of the green is the friendly entrance.6The Tee shot rises slightly and then the hole is down hill all the way to a very sculptured green. Three green side bunkers set up a difficult angle of approach.Fairway mounds and a bunker on the left side approximately 250 Yards out, set up the landing area to the right along the trees. A second fairway bunker and low valley on the right The green is framed by forest affording the perfect target shot, or some searching moments in sylvan settings!!7Three Tee levels give the golfer a choice of challenging shots plus the most spectacular views of the lake and castle.This scenic downhill Par 3 has everything anyone could ask for in a golf hole: Large lake vista with Dromoland Castle as a background, well shaped green with green side bunker on t8Your tee shot is from an elevated tee area to a friendly right side slope and receptive landing area. Feature trees on your left side provide the challenge for this Par four hole.The approach to the green is open on the right and the green has two levels. Three greenside bunkers protect the raised part on the left9Otherwise, take a gamble and choose the option of going for the green from the Tee shot.The short Par 4 has the choice of two options. You may play it as a two shot hole; This approach makes for a sharp dogleg right over a feature pond protecting the small green.10The play is over a part of the lake from the back tee.The visitor’s tee box is set just off the lake and the fairway runs along the water edge to the green which has been moved more to the right to accentuate the difficulty of the hThe green is gentle and friendly and should give the player a comfort hole to start the inward nine holes11The Tee shot for this Par 5 is a risk & reward type decision. The player that bites off more carry to the right over the marsh area will be rewarded with a much shorter second & thA large contoured green awaits the player & two putts will be a good result on this green. A Par 5 with choice & challenge.12Playing from the marsh the Tee shot is a bit of a breather with a generous landing area.This is a new construction at Dromoland. The trees are set out as islands in the marsh and play back out from the lake area to a gently rolling fairway that rises up to a small sty13Finesse is the type of shot required here not brut force. Patience on the tee will be rewarded later!A large ash tree is just off the putting surface to the left and the green is surrounded with sand bunkers.14The extended new Tee area back over the stream has given the golf course a very demanding long Par four hole.New fairway bunkers are located 235 yards short right and 260 yards long left. These bunkers define the landing area for the long uphill approach shot.The green is protected on the left front with a small pot bunker and the right side there is a friendly grass hollow.15This short Par four has qualities like the ninth hole where the player has the option to go for the green and have a putt for eagle.The length of carry to the putting surface is only 250 Yards. However the green is not easy to land on and stay from the angle of the trees to the green.16Tee shots to the left of the tree are risky if long because of the river on the left. This will be a tough Par 4 and an easy Bogie 5. With the river crossing 100 Yards in front of for the new fairway the hole plays with the river on the left and then crosses the river to an uphill green site. The Tee shot is set up by the big tree at 200 Yards in the centre The green is protected short right with a deep bunker and two smaller bunkers on the left side of the green. Pars on this hole will be earned and remembered.17It is a strong demanding hole with only a small chance for recovery if a wayward shot is played.The marsh and green site were features in place before construction of this hole and the results of shaping the green, exposing the water feature and marsh have given the course a 18A tee shot from the marsh along the lake to a generous fairway is the start of this long Par 5. Cutting the comer is a possible way of messing up this hole. The open save carry is From the large sycamore tree the player has 100 Yards left to the very contoured green, which protrudes to the front left with a deep bunker. A definite three shot hole for most pl
