Cobh Golf Club

A gentle tee shot greets the golfer at the start of the round, downhill with no hazards, although the beautiful backdrop looking up the estuary beyond Little Island towards Cork may well distract.

Little is gained by taking the driver; it is too risky a shot that could ruin the round before it's even started. The best option is a long iron, preferably with a touch of draw down to the dogleg. The green is bunkered front left and right and has a swale crossing just in front of the green and a steep drop along its right edge - a precision approach is therefore required.
