Bantry Bay Golf Club

Bantry Bay Golf Club
Donemark, Bantry, County Cork Ireland

Golf Course Details:
The 18 hole championship course open all year, towers above the head of Bantry Bay, in far West County Cork. Fourteen holes immediately overlook the shore where warm waters of the Gulf Stream first touch land on this side of the Atlantic. Fuchsias abound, and there are splendid panoramic views across the sea and islands to the Breara Mountains, Sheep's Head and the Mizen Peninsulas. They have created a course on which the Scratch golfer must thoughtfully exert himself to achieve Par 71, while a handicap golfer, too, has a fair chance of glory. Great variety, from a Par 3 of a mere 126 metres to a par 5 of 487m to a two tier green, demands skillful versatility

Bantry Bay is a clifftop parkland championship course of par 71 spread over 6500 yards in length. With its panoramic views of Bantry Bay and the Beara Peninsulas on the backdrop, it is truly a spectacular setting for west Cork's finest course. Par is rarely beaten around this testing layout that Eddie Hacket and Christy O'Conor Jnr have cleverly designed.
