Limerick County is a major golf facility in south-west Ireland ideally located 27km from Shannon Airport and close to other Irish Golf courses such as Ballybunion, Waterville and Lahinch. Limerick County Golf Club comprises of a championship-standard golf course, driving range, spectacular clubhouse, accommodation and seventy-eight beautiful home sites. The course, originally designed by Irish Ryder Cup Player Des Smyth and Associates, meanders over undulating, sand-based terrain and provides firm footing for the golfer throughout the year. Des has made excellent use of the landscape and this provides for some spectacular second shots, particularly on the front nine holes. The course is built on part of the Croker Estate, the ancestral home of the notorious "Boss" Croker of New York’s Tammany Hall. Croker lore has it that as the family patriarch lay dying he was promised a fairer land on the other side. He replied "I doubt it". After playing Limerick County aGolf Club at Ballyneety, we are sure you too will echo the venerable Mr. Croker’s sentiments. |
