| Forming part of the 300 acre estate, the land has been transformed into an 18-hole layout of stunning quality, both from a visual and playing perspective. The unique style of the Slieve Russell golf course is sensitively wrapped around the drumlins of the County Cavan landscape while incorporating 50 acres of lakes in the design! As a venue for the Smurfit Irish PGA Championship in 1996 and the European Tour’s North West of Ireland Open in 2000 and 2001, this golf course is recognised as one of the top golfing venues in Ireland. Christ O’Connor Senior wrote ‘One of my criteria in judging a golf course is that you get pleasure from it each time you play. I have played the Slieve Russell many times and each time I can’t wait to get back. I can honestly say there are no weak holes on it and off the back stakes there are four or five that will test the best’. The greens have been rated by some as the most impressive element of the design, where devilishly tricky putting surfaces present a searching examination of accurate aproach play. The Slieve Russell is a course to be enjoyed again and again. In Ballyconnell (near Cavan Town) easily accessible from Belfast via the M1& A3 and from Dublin via the N3 |

Love this course. I have played it twice now and no hesitation in going back again. Just a sexy course. Five stars eveywhere apart from value for money, although now I am sure there are good offers. Overall, a thumbs up
Played and stayed here. Very posh hotel! but so nice. I actually cant fault the place. Bit high on price for green fees but I am sure like everywhere else there are good offers now!
With strategically placed water hazards and devilishly tricky greens greens the course is quite a challenge and demands accuracy! Well worth playing
