Powerscourt West Golf Course
Enniskerry, County Wicklow
Designed by David McLay Kidd (of Bandon Dunes fame), the west course at Powerscourt presents a full-on modern day challenge featuring mature trees, lakes and stunning views of the Wicklow Mountains and the Irish Sea. However McLay Kidd wanted to present the challenge without breaking the golfer's spirit - the fairways and greens are more generous than normal although the greens feature substantial undulations.
Powerscourt is just outside the village of Enniskerry, 18 miles south of Dublin. There is a five star hotel on site and both the golf course and hotel are adjacent to Powerscourt House & Gardens.
