The Heritage, designed by the duo of Seve Ballesteros and Jeff Howes, is a modern classic, designed according to the principles of today's resort golf. As such, the course is not typically Irish, but it is exceedingly good.

It may be relatively young, but the course has already been recognised as one of the best recent additions in the UK and Ireland, and visitors have already included John Daly and Vijay Singh. The layout can be stretched to over 7,300 yards from the back tees, but there are options to suit all standards of golfer.
Set against the backdrop of the stunning Slieve Bloom Mountains, there are five lakes and a meandering stream, that serve to challenge visiting golfers on no fewer than 10 of the holes. The gently undulating track has been fitted with close to 100 challenging bunkers, and 7,000 mature trees, which have helped to instantly establish the Heritage as one of Ireland's premier courses.
In addition to the golf course, the resort offers the ‘Natural Golf School', one of only three in the world to be inspired by Seve Ballesteros. The technology and tuition on offer are based on the golfing philosophy of the great Spaniard, so expect to develop your short game, if not your accuracy off the tee!
Multiple major winner Vijay Singh said that, "it was a pleasure to play the Heritage course. The greens were beautiful, and I think everybody is going to enjoy it."

Managed to get out even in bad weather and course stood up to the heavy rain. Would love to play it again. Need to golf your way around vs just smashing driver! Great overall test.

Couldn’t complain about the condition of the course but think it’s far too tough and long off the normal tees, some of the par 4s were unreachable in two after a solid drive. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone above single digit handicap.

We played this wonderful course on a quiet Wednesday. No hold up and round in buggies in 3.5 hours. Great fun and a good test of golf

First time to play this course and loved it. It was challenging but fair. We had two members who scored 37 points and I was delighted to score 36 playing of 17 so it's doo able. It is a long trek 18,000 steps so if you are not fit you may need to book a buggy. Even more enjoyable to play on the second day when you knew where you were going. Some wonderful par fives
