Played there recently. The front few holes are permanently wet even in summer due to being below sea level. The golf course is poorly redesigned and permanently wet resulting in a messy muddy round even in August. Expect plugged lies and municipal manicuring at its worst! The bunkers are shallow and heavy and built with construction sand. The last 6 holes are played above sea level and are bland and lack charater. The bar is unpretentious and feels small due to its low ceiling and lack of floor space and dont expect food to be ready and waiting after the round! Asthetically the bar is awful with an antique fireplace and cheap replica historic drinks advertisements totally from the Del boy line of design! and is itself rather badly designed for a clubhouse of such size and potential. The entire experience is far removed from the professonal standards of other donegal courses. The club is primarily for local members and has a loyal amateur member committee which runs both the course and clubhouse which is reflected in the standards of everything but dont expect anything but a 40 euro green fee. drive on to another course for a better experience

This view of letterkenny golf club must have been of the course about 5 years ago its most certainly not the course I have been playing this year. Yes redevolopement is evident on a few holes but is almost complete leading to a very dry underfoot surface even with the substantial rainfall this summer. The course is a joy to play. I think a well done to the development team is more in line. A very enjoyable but a tough test for all levels of golfers.

Mr. Charlton must have played a completely different course to the one I played on Sunday last. Beautifully redesigned, with par threes to compare with the best. Course was beautifully set up with perfect underfoot conditions. Modern clubhouse currently being redecorated.

I wish you all the best with your new clubhouse. Visited there in August and was most impressed. Played the course in the past with my cousin Philomena Grieve's husband Frank and children Eammon and Garvin. Say hello to them for me. Good luck
