CLUB COMMENTS: Four new championship tees have been built this year. New driving range opened July.

Better known as Rosses Point, it starts modestly with some uphill and downhill holes but really takes off (literally) at the 5th, called The Jump. Here, you drive off the edge of the cliff to a fairway on a flood plain way down below. If this hole plays into the wind, it might reduce you to tears. The views of the Atlantic and the backdrop of Benbulben are stunning and the holes from 12 to 17 along the coast are right out of the top drawer.
