Rather than imposing his ideas on the site, Clarke allowed the character of the local terrain to dictate, spawning holes of amazing beauty and great challenge.CountySligois blessed with a great many championship links courses, but Clarke has sought to redress the paucity of high quality parkland layouts with Castle Dargan.
Built in accordance with USGA construction principles, the course is maintained in first class condition by an army of ground staff, and is playable for golfers of all standards. From the championship markers, Castle Dargan is around 6,800 yards, which is quite short for a modern build, but there it has enough teeth to challenge even the best.
This new star is a welcome addition to theCountySligolandscape, providing the ideal balance between the region’s array of terrific coastal courses – be sure to include Darren Clarke’s excellent course in your next escape to this charming corner of the Emerald Isle.
