Burrow Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Burrow Golf Course, considering the Irish weather?

For your visit to Burrow, we highly recommend aiming for late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October). You'll find the course in its prime condition, and these months offer the best chance for milder winds and fewer downpours, making those exposed links holes much more enjoyable.

What's the real challenge at Burrow Golf Course - is it a true links test or more forgiving?

Burrow is undeniably a proper links experience, and you'll quickly discover its true test lies in managing the wind and navigating the natural contours. Don't expect perfectly flat lies; instead, embrace the bumps and hollows that make every shot a unique puzzle, especially on the back nine where precision is key.

Which hole at Burrow Golf Course should I really look forward to, or be wary of?

Keep a keen eye out for the par-3 7th hole at Burrow - it's a stunner and a real card-wrecker. With the Irish Sea looming and often a stiff crosswind, you'll need precise club selection and a confident swing to hit the small, elevated green. It's a memorable challenge you won't soon forget.

After a round at Burrow, what's the best way to unwind or grab a bite nearby?

After battling the elements at Burrow, you absolutely must head into the nearby village for a pint and some proper pub grub. We always make a point of visiting "The Old Anchor Inn" - it's just a short drive, has a fantastic atmosphere, and their fish and chips are the perfect reward for a hard-fought round.

Is Burrow Golf Course good value, and do I need to book far in advance?

Burrow offers excellent value for a genuine Irish links experience, especially compared to some of its more famous neighbors. We strongly recommend booking your tee time at least 3-4 months in advance, particularly if you're planning a weekend round, as it's a popular spot with locals and visitors alike.
