Signature hole: The par-three third hole is both beautiful and testing. A mere 135 yard to the green does not tell the full story. A long, narrow diagonal green which is protected by bunkers left and a tributary of the Suir tight on the right might change your perception when standing on the tee.

Professional’s tip:

Don’t be fooled by the shelter the pines give on the tee box. Take an extra club, aim for the middle of the green and commit to the shot because there is no bailout. Take your par and walk on.
