Cork Golf Club, Little Island

Next up for the society was our trip to Cork Golf Club in Little Island. The club were very welcoming and the course was set up beautifully for their own Captain’s Prize with the greens running incredibly quick.  The course was fantastic and if you haven’t had the pleasure, be sure to put it on your list.  Many thanks again to Conor & Rory Gallagher and Gallagher Quigley Estate Agents for their repeat sponsorship of the Irish away trip.
