This traditional parkland tract is one of the most popular courses in the Emerald Isle – and rightly so. It was co-designed by well known Irish Golf Professional Christy O’Connor Jnr and Peter McEvoy, former Walker Cup Captain, in 1993. It was redesigned in 1998/99 by Jeff Howes Golf Design creating an absolute gem.
Since 1995, Fota Island has hosted a number of top tournaments, most notably the Irish Open in 2001 & 2002 and the Irish Seniors Open in 2006. There’s not a weak hole on the course and it ends with a magnificent par 5, where the green is protected on three sides by water! The Barryscourt 9 hole course has recently been completed alongside the existing championship course.
The course features a world class layout with some very challenging features to test the most competitive golfer. The Academy at Fota Island boasts 4000 sq. meters of first class turf to practice clean crisp iron shots with a separate chipping green surrounded with bunkers.
There is also a gently undulating outdoor putting green and as the short game is so important a new pitching area with various targets up to 100 meters away. Lessons can be booked for individuals or groups.
