County golf guide
Carlow
Carlow is a small county with a golf offering that punches above its weight. It has a neat mix of traditional club golf, resort golf, and scenic inland layouts.
The county is especially appealing for golfers who like parkland golf with mature trees, rolling land, and a quieter pace than the busier golf destinations.
For open competitions, Carlow is a useful county to follow because the courses are accessible, good value can often be found, and the playing experience tends to be relaxed but still competitive.
