Woodenbridge
Located 10 miles south of Ballyknocken House, the course is
set in a natural amphitheatre in a valley surrounded by wooden
slopes on both sides. Two rivers, the Avonmore and the Aughrim,
run throughout the course with many holes being played over
river and lake waters. Pheasant and duck abound offering tranquillity
at its best. Probably on of the most photographed locations
in Ireland, the vale of Avoca is the ultimate setting for
a game of golf.
Golf has been played at Woodenbridge since 1884, leaving it
one of the oldest courses in Ireland. Up until 1994 it was
played as a 9 hole course but then a major transformation
to 18 holes - the creation of golf course architect Patrick
Merrigan - took place. The unique beauty of the old nine has
been enhanced by the new nine, making it one of the most successful
integrated and beautiful courses to play on. To avoid the
peak times, visit Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings or
Friday and Sunday mornings. Prior booking of tee times strongly
advised.
