This magnificently fashioned golf course at Rathdowney Golf Club in County Laois offers 18 challenging holes of play set against the backdrop of the rolling drumlins of County Laois.

The 130 acre estate contains two ring forts dating from pre Christian times and a motte, inside which Anglo Norman knights built a wooden fortress, to protect the territory wrested from the hands of the native Irish.

A round at Rathcore is something special. The sculptured course is a place of natural undulating beauty. Enhanced by a tree lined horizon of oak and furze it is punctuated by six stone lined, spring water lakelets. The charm and special ambience of the course has been crafted in rapport with nature to provide a unique challenge to every standard of golfer.
