Location
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Ireland
A true taste of Ireland
Typified by picturesque towns and ancient historical sites and surrounded by acres of unspoilt countryside, County Laois is one of Ireland’s best kept secrets.
Nestled in the charming village of Killenard, this magnificent Resort combines a stunning countryside setting with optimum convenience for both business and leisure guests. Located just off the M7 motorway in Ireland’s most central county, The Resort is one hour southwest of Dublin City and Dublin International Airport, and two hours from Shannon International Airport and Cork City.
Come and discover the hidden Ireland, and all it has to offer. Walk in the breathtaking Slieve Bloom Mountains, where waterfalls cascade through verdant hills and natural woodland. Try fly and course fishing in the crystal clear rivers and streams. Feel the thrill of the races at the nearby Curragh, Naas, Punchestown and Kilbeggan race courses, or catch one of the many key events held in the area.

The result is as beautiful as it is challenging. This par 72 course, adorned by lush fairways and gently undulating greens, 98 carefully landscaped bunkers and 7,000 trees, creates a true test of golfing skills. Five lakes and a stream breathe life into the course – and bring water into play on 10 holes – while a variety of tees allow the course to be played from 5,747 to 7,319 yards. Built on limestone land, magnificent playing surfaces are guaranteed all year round – so you’re assured of a fantastic golf experience whenever you visit. And, for a first-rate aprésgolf experience, you can round off your day in our purposebuilt Clubhouse.
Golf
Where great golfing comes naturally Our Seve Ballesteros ‘Natural’ Golf School is the only facility of its kind in Ireland – and one of just three in the world. It’s no wonder that golfers come from all corners of the globe to experience the leading-edge technology and personal tuition afforded by our unrivalled training centre.
Unwind in a golfer’s paradise Having spent a day on our superb golf course, you’d be forgiven for thinking that things couldn’t get any better. However, The Clubhouse is an experience in itself! Retire to the plush ‘Members Lounge’, which offers a relaxed atmosphere, a range of drinks and snacks along with plenty of cosy armchairs where tales of past glories unfold.
The excellent ‘Greens Restaurant’ serves a delicious selection of fine cuisine complimented by an extensive wine list. With spectacular views over the course, you can watch the sun set from the balcony, or even hold a private event in the magnificent self-contained ‘Ballesteros Suite’ which over looks the 9th and 18th greens.
Every coach is a fully qualified PGA professional who has learnt the principles of Seve’s ground-breaking ‘Natural’ Golf Method from the man himself. By teaching a natural, repeatable swing and exploring the key fundamentals, your coach can help you to unlock the natural flair, power and skill that underpin Seve’s own enduring success.
