Roe Park
Roe Park’s recent upgrades, to greens especially, have given this golf
resort considerably more clout. The course sits alongside the smart
hotel and impressive driving range, and three practice holes have
also been added. The course wraps easily around the hotel, starting
down by the River Roe, playing over gentle parkland terrain. It then
has one glorious par three (the 6th) rising steeply through the heart
of the buildings to a turret-like green. It’s one intimidating shot for
an Index 18! The remaining 12 holes find a steadier rhythm with water
and gorse and trees looping around Mullagh Hill. It is an airy course
where you will be tempted to go for your shots but the tantalising
and short par four 15th will stop you in your tracks… go for glory or
play safe? The 17th is a long and attractive par three and may be a
card-wrecker. Roe Park’s location, not far from the revered links on
the north coast, adds to the resort’s attraction.
