Designed in the early 1920’s by a top team of English golf architects, Colt, Mackenzie and Allison, Knock has developed into one of Ireland’s finest inland courses - the par of 70 is reputed to rank among the toughest in the country. Tree-lined fairways, a proliferation of bunkers and well-manicured greens add up to an exceptional challenge. “The course gets off to a delightful start with a right hand dogleg which culminates to a deceptively sloping left to right downhill green. Another first nine favourite is the testing sixth, a par 4 of more than 450 yards.”
