❝The gem of the PGA Centenary is the 5th, you have to make your way down a narrow fairway with a dangerous approach to the green, any mis-hit shots will be swallowed up by the lake short of the hole. A nerve-racking hole with the potential to be a real scorecard wrecker!❞

❝The finish on the Old Course at St Pierre involves negotiating the 17th green which is almost surrounded by an expansive water hazard, and the final hole contains a difficult elevated green.❞

The 2011 edition of The Solheim Cup was the host of a 4th European victory with Europe winning 15-13 in a hotly contested match.

The Jack Nicklaus designed course near Dublin saw vital wins by Catriona Matthew, Suzann Pettersen and Azahara Munoz in the final day's singles with Munoz's victory by just 1 hole showing just how close the match was.

Killeen Castle is a great golf break destination with lodge accommodation that's perfect for groups. The course is very playable for a range of handicaps with plenty of room off the tee and great local cuisine to enjoy in the restaurant.

Set within 1000 acres of forested parkland, serving up scenic views of the Pentland Hills, this James Braid designed golf course provides a challenge for any golfer.

The East course is nicknamed 'The Beast', the fairways are wide but playing well demands a combination of raw power and a precise short game.
