Water Rock Golf Course

Opened in 1994, this high-quality, sand-based greens course is set in beautiful surroundings on the banks of the Owenacurra River, near Midleton. Bringing varying challenges for all calibres of golfer, the layout is fair yet strategic – rewarding the brave while also providing wide bailout areas. The acclaimed back nine at Water Rock, where water comes into play during no less than five holes, is a real test of character and golfing ability. The signature hole is the Par 3 on the 12th, 240 yards from the back tee and known locally as “Swan Lake”. This hole has been described as ‘One of the Best 50 Holes in Europe’. The course was designed by renowned Golf Course Architect Paddy Merrigan, whose work also included the Old Head of Kinsale, Slieve Russell and WoodenBridge, along with many others high quality golf courses.
