Ring of Kerry Golf & Country Club, RoI

This 18-hole course is probably in one of the most spectacular settings in the UK and Ireland, overlooking, as it does, Kenmare Lake, and in the distance the dramatic peaks of the Macgillicuddy Reeks. The course was built in 1996 (to an Eddie Hackett design) and when it opened for play in 1998 the owner considered the greens to be too heavily contoured and too demanding.

Jonathan Gaunt redesigned the greens and supervised their construction over a six month period. All were designed with limited falls (between 1%-3%) to make them both easier to play and maintain. They were all either seeded or turfed and brought into play on schedule in summer 2000.

"Famed for its spectacular scenery, its VIP playing guest list and the intoxicating hospitality of the Kerry people, the Ring of Kerry Golf and Country Club has now established itself as the "must play" course of any golfer visiting Ireland's south west".
