Set in beautiful surroundings on the banks of the Owenacurra River (just 15 minutes from Cork City outside Midleton in East Cork), the course is strategically designed from its forward and back tees to reward both the average and top class golfer. The design is fair yet strategic, rewarding the thinking golfer while flattering the average player with wide fairway landing areas.
The par 70, 18 hole, 5690 metre course comprises 5 par three’s and 3 par five’s in two loops. The signature hole is known locally as ‘Swan lake’, the 240 yard 12th par 3, plays over water to a contouring green, Quite a challenge to all!
The climax to the round comes as the superb sequence of finishing holes designed around three lakes, culminates in the outstanding par four on the 18th hole played uphill into the prevailing wind. Water Rock Golf Club is undoubtedly one of the finest courses in all of County Cork.
