Esker Hills Golf Club is a Christy O' Connor Jnr designed masterpiece, built on unique terrain where no two holes are remotely alike. Spend some time here exploring the ultimate golfing test - it's well worth the effort!?Esker Hills Golf Club is located just over an hour from Dublin, Galway and Limerick and only 45 minutes from the K Club, venue of the 2006 Ryder Cup. It is neither parkland nor linksland giving it a very unique feel. As the name suggests it is an undulating golf course as each hole carves its way over the sandy gravel base deposited by the glacier thousands of years ago. The greens at Esker Hills are among the best and most difficult in the country. Some of the more delightful holes on the course are the shorter par fours, a feature of O'Connor Jnr. designs that demonstrate that a course of enormous length is not required for a true test of golf. And this course is exactly that - a true test.
