    I played this course in July 22 when we went up to stay a week in kerrykeal it’s a fantastic course , Pat Ruddy owns the European Club in Wicklow you can see his input once you’ve seen the European club ,
    When you come out of the car park turn left and follow the road to kerrykeal over the mountain, what a fantastic county Donegal is , was my first time in Donegal about 4 hour drive from Dublin and worth every minute of the drive .
