Carton House Golf Club (The Montgomerie)

Inland links-style championship course designed by Colin Montgomerie, offering a more demanding and exposed test compared to the parkland O’Meara course. The layout features wide fairways, large undulating greens, and deep, strategically placed bunkers that place a premium on accuracy and course management. Independent guests are welcome, with tee times available through the resort. As the more challenging of the two courses at Carton House, it is better suited to experienced golfers seeking a true championship-style test. A recognised handicap is typically required, though specific limits are not publicly stated. The length and design, stretching beyond 7,300 yards from the back tees, can present a significant challenge, particularly in windy conditions. Green fees sit in the mid-to-premium range, reflecting its championship pedigree, Irish Open history, and reputation as one of the stronger inland links-style courses in Ireland.
