Price fall makes Augusta Drive a green dream come true

THE 2009 Augusta Masters might be recently over, and scooped by Angel Cabrera, but there’s a chance now for more ordinary souls to make the cut at Cork’s Augusta link – thanks to a decline in prices.

Augusta Drive is the name of a row of big, detached houses overlooking Douglas Golf Club in Cork’s southeastern suburbs.

Built back around 2003, these large O’Brien and O’Flynn-built homes were bid to and over €1.1 million at the peak of the Irish housing bubble.
