This majestic golf setting is snuggled down in the heart of Ireland.
A Christy O'Connor Jnr. masterpiece that has all golfers talking. Every hole is breathtaking and measuring over 7000 yds from the championship tees it is a true test for all golfing standards .Glasson Golf and Country Club must be seen to be believed. Set on a peninsula bordering Lough Ree, it is set to become the subject of many an oil painting.
One of the many features at Glasson includes the 15th ,a par 3, which will undoubtedly
become one of the most photographed holes in Irish golf. With both tee and green situated in the lake, the natural beauty of the reed beds has known to make the mind swim and the ball sink into the crystal clear waters of Lough Ree.
