Just outside Midleton is Water Rock, an 18 hole pay and play course. Water hazards are a major feature of the back nine and the 12th is appropriately called “Swan Lake” and involves a 242 yard carry over water. www.waterrockgolfcourse.com

Nearby is East Cork Golf Club, a members club, that also welcomes visitors – the hospitality is legendary. The club boasts many fine holes – particularly on the back nine www.eastcorkgolfclub.com

Golf at the seaside town of Youghal presents stunning views over the harbour all the way to Ballycotton lighthouse. www.youghalgolfclub.net.  Great golf and great views – who could ask for more. If sea views are your scene, then the par three course at Trabolgan should not be missed. Set atop some spectacular cliffs, stray shots often find a watery grave. www.trabolgan.com
