The South County Golf Club is a Dr. Nick Bielenberg designed championship parkland golf course set amongst the foot hills of the Dublin Mountains. It is a par 72 parkland course measuring 7,014 yards from the tips.
Use of the landscape is a key feature of The South County Golf Club and this is truly apparent as the golfer ambles through the front nine surrounded by rolling hills and heather clad plains. The subtlety and spleandour of the course is highlighted by the excellent use of water throughout. This is no more amply demonstrated than on the 15th fairway where the Brittas River crosses no fewer than 3 times.
Throughout the round the player will be teased and tested by disguised landing areas, deceptive carries and strategically placed bunkers. Indeed the course becomes noticeably more penal and hazard strewn as the round comes to an end. In this renowned finishing stretch you need to display equal measures of caution and courage in order to reach the sanctuary of the clubhouse intact.
