"Part of the design approach, it was important for the course to fit comfortably into the landscape and reflect local heritage. This can be seen in the many dry-stone walls that frame the course and also in the design of the Starters Hut. This is an accurate reproduction of one of the "beehive" huts found in the magnificently preserved monastic settlement on the world-famous Skellig Michael - the larger of the two Skellig Islands that jut dramatically from the bay."
" Nestling in the shadows of the towering McGillicuddy Reeks, the golfer has to negotiate the river Fionnglass for the opening and closing holes but it is the stretch from six to sixteen that lives in memory long after the last putt has been sunk. Here the awesome beauty of the Bay hits you full in the face as you play through holes framed by over 8000 yards of ancient "famine" walls."
