A man’s body was found in a man-made lake on a Cork golf course yesterday morning.

Go up and over the hill at Farran, above the Cork/Macroom road past Ovens, and you are almost into a different world.

It was a perfect day in Lee Valley Golf Club yesterday, sun kissing the spring-blooming flowers, the vista from the first tee-box picture-postcard perfection.

THE asking price of €850,000 for this beautifully-set house in Farran, Co Cork is not outrageous, considering the area’s exclusivity.
