GALWAY, COUNTY GALWAY

Architect: Alistair Mackenzie (founded 1895). Yardage: 6,070-6,534m (par 70).

Green fees: From €35.

In a nutshell… Old school charm on a course that slips down to the waters of Galway Bay, through gorse and impenetrable pine trees.

You’ll love the… Feel of a classic layout and design. The course sits on a gentle hillside which promises some big downhill drives – the par-4 14th is a peach – and views across the Bay.
