Carlow's gardens reflect a strong horticultural identity across the county.
DUBLIN, IRELAND
Carlow & Kilkenny
Estate parkland and coastal links across Ireland's southeast.
Inland Estates and Southeast Links
Carlow & Kilkenny brings together mature inland parkland and a traditional southeast links course. Carlow, Mount Wolseley, and Mount Juliet offer tree-lined golf with rolling ground and strategic hazards, while Rosslare adds firm coastal turf and Irish Sea wind.
The contrast gives golfers four distinct rounds across a varied southeastern route.
