The O’Meara Course is an exquisite beauty that leaves you breathless with admiration and exhilaration throughout every one of its 7165 yards. Feature holes include the 14th, 15th and 16th, a pair of threes wrapped around a heroic par five that is often called Ireland’s answer to Amen Corner. This classic parkland course might lull you with its beauty but is still full of challenges. The O’Meara is a Par 73 parkland golf course which measures 7,165 yards from the blue championship tees.
