THE HERITAGE GOLF RESORT & SPA

Location: Killenard, Co. Laois, 40 miles West of Dublin city centre, and Dublin International Airport

The Heritage, designed by the duo of Seve Ballesteros and Jeff Howes, is a modern classic, designed according to the principles of today's resort golf. As such, the course is not typically Irish, but it is exceedingly good.

It may be relatively young, but the course has already been recognised as one of the best recent additions in the UK and Ireland, and visitors have already included John Daly and Vijay Singh. The layout can be stretched to over 7,300 yards from the back tees, but there are options to suit all standards of golfer.

Set against the backdrop of the stunning Slieve Bloom Mountains, there are five lakes and a meandering stream, that serve to challenge visiting golfers on no fewer than 10 of the holes. The gently undulating track has been fitted with close to 100 challenging bunkers, and 7,000 mature trees, which have helped to instantly establish the Heritage as one of Ireland's premier courses.

In addition to the golf course, the resort offers the ‘Natural Golf School', one of only three in the world to be inspired by Seve Ballesteros. The technology and tuition on offer are based on the golfing philosophy of the great Spaniard, so expect to develop your short game, if not your accuracy off the tee!
