Powerscourt (East)
The older of the two Powerscourt courses, the East, opened in
1996. Golfers can expect an exciting start (much like the majestic
drive into the estate), a terrific finish and superb greens throughout.
There are impressive views – on the back nine especially – but
your attention will need to be on the course at all times. This is a
challenging par 72, measuring 5,930 metres (middle white tees) and
it will test you all day long… especially on the beautifully contoured
greens. Seriously, if you want to put your putting to the test, step
this way. The natural shape of this elegant landscape has been used
to enhance its best features. Nowhere is this more apparent than
on the par four 4th, 7th and 18th, where the naturally high tee boxes
promise tempting fairways below. The par threes are also strong,
with the 3rd and 16th particularly outstanding.
