This is a beautiful piece of parkland landscape that drifts down to Lough Ree for the final holes. It is an impressive finish that starts as early as the 13th. The hotel is excellent, the drive in is mouth-watering and the test of golf is severe. The course is uncomplicated and you will find straightforward drives and unassuming approaches. The greatest challenges encountered are the lengths you must carry, several hidden putting surfaces and some steep green contours.

As you climb up to the 14th tee in the beech wood, you’ll feel the hairs on your neck rise, while the 15th is the acclaimed Par 3 over Lough Ree. Glasson has a great reputation and it is very popular due to the friendly warm welcome you get from the staff in the hotel.
