THE HERITAGE GOLF RESORT – DG IRELAND TOP150 – 2025
Editor, Kevin Markham
Much of the attention focused on The Heritage Golf Resort concentrates on the Seve Ballesteros design. It is little wonder.
The enigmatic Seve still conjures up all that is enthralling about the game of golf. And plenty of that can be found here. Golfers are met by the statue of the great man and the stylish clubhouse. If you want to glimpse two of the resort’s best holes
head around to the right, past the new Pro shop, and marvel at the two greens perched on either side of a stunning lake. These are the 9th and 18th. It’s some finish to each nine.
Water sparkles here but it is only one of the challenges you’ll face: this is a long course with holes flowing over the gently shaped Co. Laois countryside, weaving between an intimidating array of complex bunkers and a maturing army of trees. Be grateful that landing areas are generous and there’s a good choice of tees.
FAVOURITE HOLE
The par four 18th is such a strong finishing hole, curving gently
left around the water which threatens off the tee and on the
approach.
WHAT’S IN THE BAG?
You’ll need to drive well for the whole day.
