Perched on top of one hundred foot seacliffs, landscaped on all sides and steeped in history, Woodbrook offers a new challenge to today's golfer. Leading new-age architect Peter McEvoy has handsomely redesigned Woodbrook’s layout. The result being a course that sits comfortably alongside other rich new creations such as Mount Juliet, The K Club and Portmarnock Links. Eighteen new, sand based, bent grass greens of varying sculpture and built to a standard set by the USGA, combined with the cunning placement of fairway and greenside bunkers, call for shot making virtuosity of the highest calibre. Of his work at Woodbrook, a proud McEvoy says: "Woodbrook had history, ambience and class. Golf and it’s high-tech equipment had outgrown it’s challenge…now I hope you agree that my design changes will prove to have redressed this balance and places Woodbrook back at the top of Irish championship venues." Testimony to the success of this venture lies in the return of international professional golf to Woodbrook in 1998, in the form of the Irish Seniors Open Championship. Woodbrook offers members and visitors alike a friendly and challenging golfing experience to rival the very best available. |
