Castlegregory Golf Club

The opening par five has a beautiful lake with swans on the right hand side and, incidentally, the lake comes into play on every shot for the opener, as the green is a semi island.

On one of the holes you tee off adjacent to one of the most gorgeous stretches of beach in Europe overlooking Brandon Bay, featuring crashing waves riddled with surfers during the summer. While in the area take a look at the Maharees Peninsula, renowned for its rousing nightlife.
