Club gets ‘two for one’ golf course offer
Almost two years after the first suggestion of a land swap in one of the south’s most affluent housing suburbs, Douglas Golf Club members in Cork are to meet developers Castlelands Construction in early 2007 to be shown ambitious plans for a “two-for-one swap”, with two, 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II-designed courses, all on 400 acres of land off the Carrigaline Road.
Douglas Golf Club has 110-acres of prime but unzoned land in an area of huge housing demand, but also of increasing traffic congestion, so any plan will have to include traffic relief and control measures.
