Kevin Markham visits the beautiful estate in County Wicklow, 20 miles south of Dublin city

- Kevin Markham

The golf
East course: par 72, 6,484 yards
West course: par 72, 6,442 yards

The first big challenge here is picking which one of the two 18-hole courses (East and West) to play first.

The West wastes no time in steering you onto the cavorting hillside that is home to this David McLay Kidd design. It gives every hole so much shape. The par-3 2nd is a downhill beauty with water to the right, and you drive over that water to reach the fairway on the short par-4 3rd. A low and wide hollow promises attractive drives on the 4th and 7th holes, as well as delicious green settings on the 6th and 10th... taking you sweetly onto the back nine.
