The O'Meara Course at Carton House Golf Club

a fantastic golf experience. used as a treat for me and a friend. was a great day out all round. stay out of the bunkers though

Excellent course heavily bunkerd so accuracy paramount. Would highly recommend.

Great course excellent condition staff very helpful

Played both O'Meara and Montgomerie on the same day. The latter trumps the former, which is why it was the venue for the Irish Open. Mastering Monty is all about staying out of the fairway bunkers. They are a factor in almost every shot. The green side bunkers are immaculately maintained and very deep. This is what distinguishes Monty from O'Meara. Hit an errant shot and there is a penalty. Monty's greens are large, subtle but very fair and true. Very useful to play with a local. Even with GPS and a yardage book, knowing what to shoot at and what to avoid is not always apparent. A wonderful course; put it on your play list for Ireland.

The course is really challenging. It is the wonderful
Parkland course, really enjoyable

Great course and in great condition! A must play when in Dublin!!

great course will play again ,great value,stay out of the bunkers-practice area with free ball a bonus

Overall a nice course
Very poor marking of yardage all around the course and had to guess yards a few times as there was none around which was frustrating.
Greens in ok conditions
Fairways seem to have a problem with burrowing animals, ball went into one of these holes on 3 different fairways

The course, the grounds, the hotel all good...
Some bunkers could do with more sand but overall this is a very tidy well thought out course of which we look forward to playing again.

Great day, early tee time booking = best value, would definitely recommend to all standard of golfers as a good challenge and a most enjoyable walk.

surprisingly wet, thin cover around the greens, makes
chipping difficult.

I found the Monty to be a demanding but enjoyable test of golf. Lots of bunkering make most of the tee shots challenging and the cost of finding the traps meant advancing your second shot only far enough as to almost definitely ensure bogey.mostly elevated greens require good approach shots and I was very impressed with the short surfaces and all the really subtle breaks that turned my normally guaranteed 2 putts into 3.wonderful golf course

Nice, overrated compared to some courses where fees are less like castleknock. No real obstacles except for the bunkers.

This course was in very poor condition. Divots all over the place, old divots not filled in - add to that a lot of mucky conditions following inclement weather.
The greens also seemed to have a disease as there were round patches on many of them.
My group of 4 would have been furious had they paid more than €30. Even at that price it was very poor value.

The course was in pretty good condition given the weather was so poor all week. The greens were in fantastic condition and rolled superbly.

Great course for a great price, plays tough in the wind though

Played this course for the 2nd time on Sunday. My first impression from my first round in 2012 were not good but that was more due to my poor golf than the course itself! Having been at Carton House for the 2013 Irish Open and seeing first hand the perfect condition of the course, I had to return & my second round was very enjoyable. A beautiful course which requires excellent course management, a tidy short game and the greens are very difficult. The clubhouse & facilities are immaculate. Thoroughly enjoyable but probably best avoided for higher handicappers as it could prove to be a long walk spoiled....and covered in sand.

Good challenging course for the discount price received

Was disappointed with this course. The course is well maintained,however the greens weren't the best. It is a difficult course in that the rough presents a challenge ( in finding your ball mainly, as its not too hard to play out of) with a lot of bunkers on your drives. The layout is very straightforward with little variation, and no hole worthy of 'Signature Hole Status', as a result the course feels a bit bland.
Overall a little disappointed as was expecting more from a course that was awarded an Irish Open recently

Nice course with lots of rough, first hole being rebuilt with lots of GUR.
