Fota Island Golf Club
Fota Island Golf Club is situated about 9 miles east of Cork City. It is a conservative 6,927 yards parkland course and is one of the most well liked courses in the Emerald Isle.
This par 72, 18 hole championship course has hosted a number of top tournaments, The Irish Open was played here in 2001 and 2002.
The club was established in 1993 and offers some of the most picturesque views and landscape in Cork. The exceptional golf course of Fota has a conventional design with groups of dotted bunkers, undulating putting surface and double greens.
The course is well manicured and you can enjoy a game of the highest standards.
The clubhouse integrates the creativity of stunning stone farm buildings with the spike bar at the ground level.
Overlooking the 18th green is the Niblicks restaurant.
The golf course is a part of the Fota Island Resort which is snuggled in the heart of a serene island and is bounded by breath taking scenery.
With an extra 9 holes added the course now has three different courses to play:
The Belvelly, a Par 72 course stretching over 7121 yards from the championship tees, includes the new nine-hole layout also developed by Jeff Howes.
This course incorporates some unique and exciting features, intended to challenge even the most competitive golfer yet remaining perfectly loyal to the traditional style, values and playability that characterise Fota Island Golf Club as a whole.
The 16th hole promises to be one of the features of this exciting new challenge – a 435yard Par 4 requires an accurately placed tee shot where finding the fairway is at a premium, allowing those without the burden of a faint heart to take on the daunting approach over an old quarry to a small target.
The Barryscourt, a Par 73 course, also incorporates the new nine-hole layout.
With 7362 yards to be negotiated, a great opportunity to produce a good score beckons on this course which is characterised by gently undulating greens - your putting game will be examined throughout your round! What’s more the newly designed Par 3 8th hole – cleverly guarded by a variety of hazards – will reward those who possess the advantage of an accurate tee-shot.
No matter which course you choose, one thing is for certain, at Fota you’ll always be guaranteed true championship golf in true championship style.
