Chosen as the first and only Jack Nicklaus signature course in Ireland, the "Golden Bear" was meticulous and pain-staking in his design and overseeing of the construction of his great creation.
The par 72, 7300 yard layout boasts rolling fairways, many feature water hazards and contoured greens, all superbly blended into the spectacular setting of this famous old Irish Estate.

Facilities:
- Feature holes abound on the course, but the 3rd hole, a stunning par 3 from an elevated tee to a green guarded by a natural stream and lake is one that golfers always remember.
- The par 5 10th hole with its copse of trees which tests the golfers strategy is also a favourite.
- The final hole, a long par 4 with water all down the left and a narrow approach to the green has decided many a tournament result.
- In preparation for the WGC the Jack Nicklaus design team instigated some extensions and new features to the course.
