Ireland's Golf Rankings - The 20 Clubs That Missed Out Part II

Views over the 5th green at North West

Here is the second batch of ten courses that didn't make the Golf Digest Ireland Top 100 Irish golf courses... nine of which have green fees between €20 and €35. If that's not value I don't know what is.

Taking photographs of golf courses calls for patience. Lots of it. And patience has never been my strong suit on a golf course. But combining my passions of golf and photography has given me a different insight into the game. It has made me respect the beauty of a classic golf course and the natural landscape that flows around you. That breeds patience... and devotion.

The list of Ireland’s Fairways Less Travelled… The Hidden Gems… The Jewels… The Unsung Heroes… whatever you want to call them... is now complete.

So here is the final list of Ireland’s 20 best golf courses that rarely get the credit or coverage they deserve.

I’m sure that you have plenty of hidden Irish gems that you’d like to add… please feel free to do so in the Comments section.

I would like to thank everyone who entered the draws, and I would especially like to thank the golf clubs who donated free fourballs for this blog to give away. Eighteen of the 20 clubs donated. Many thanks for your generosity.

Ireland's Top Ten Hidden Golf Courses - No. 4

Approach to the 6th at Rosslare

We're up to No. 4 in Ireland's Best Fairways Less Travelled. These are two courses that will be better known than the courses at No. 5, but still not given the credibility or respect they deserve. 

One sits on the south-eastern tip of Ireland in beautiful County Wexford (but then I would say that); the other is south west of Dublin and is the oldest course on the island. 

Parkland: Royal Curragh

Links: Rosslare

You can win four balls to both of these courses (follow the link below).
