"Carrick-on-Shannon Golf Club is located by the banks of the Shannon, patrolled by the Argina Mountains and is simply spectacular."
"There are some spectacular holes, not least the eight where the tee-box is surrounded by water, which require a carry-over of the Boyle River.
The 13th hole is a frightening par 3 just 200 metres short and has all the hallmarks of becoming rather special in Irish golfing folklore."
