The power of passion

Discover the world of Red Carnation

Golf

Our picturesque 9-hole, 2996-yard, par 35 parkland course is perfect for golfers of all abilities to hone their skills. The course, the original deer park of the estate, was designed by the renowned Irish golf architect Eddie Hackett and imaginatively integrates a wide variety of natural features and hazards to create charming par 3s, exciting par 4s and a formidable par 5. The legendary Irish golfer, Christy O'Connor Senior started his illustrious career here in 1947 as our professional before going on to participate in 10 Ryder Cups!

Green fees are complimentary to hotel residents and we provide the latest Titleist clubs.
