Overview

Waterville can stretch up to 7,347 yards. However, most visiting gents will play the white tees at 6,556 yards or the green tees at 6,252 yards and par 72.  Also, ladies will normally play a much more manageable par 73 course at 5,370 yards. Although the Atlantic wind will wreak havoc with any set of tees!

One of the most famous holes at Waterville is the par three 12th, Mass Hole, where Catholics would practice their religion low beneath the dunes to hide from the ruling British.

Guests will love the new and improved 2019 clubhouse renovations with the lovely historical exhibits and the fine 1889 Bar & Restaurant. The renovation makes the Waterville Golf Links facilities clearly among the best in Ireland.  The lucky few can also stay at the adjacent Waterville House, an exclusive Georgian house hotel with 12 bedrooms and luxurious amenities.

When visiting the Irish southwest coast, your Ireland golf package should always include Waterville. It is always ranked in the top three of Pioneer Golf customer experiences!
