Birr Golf Club
Georgina Campbell
The course at Birr Golf Club has been carved out of natural woodland and eskers and provides a strong challenge for even the most accomplished golfers. Undulating fairways, ridges, hills and hollows represent the nearest inland equivalent to the links courses around our coast.

Many of the holes at Birr are laid out in attractive avenues and valleys, none more so than the short but difficult 10th hole running alongside the clubhouse through a tree-lined fairway. The combination of natural sweeps, hollows and hillocks along with the carefully designed course layout, provides an exciting challenge to golfers of all standards, while the fairways flow beautifully towards perfectly manicured greens.
Truly, this is a superb golf course, with facilities to match.
