New golfing heaven in Kingdom

Charlie Mulqueen enjoys the challenges at Castleisland,

The sceptics who doubted Castleisland would ever have a golf course were put firmly in their place with the opening on June 1 of the excellent Dr Arthur Spring-designed layout at Tulligibeen on the main Limerick-Tralee road.

Already it is doing a huge amount of business and on my recent visit 100 golfers from the Knocknagoshel area were enjoying an outing there in delightful weather conditions in an ambience ideally suited to their requirements.
