Good to hear. They must have changed the greens. I played it a few years back and remember waiting on a tee-box for ages whilst a group ahead of us took about 10/12 putts each on the green ahead. We gave an ironic cheer when they holed out and put the flag back in.
Twas only when we hit the green ourselves that we sheepishly realised the pin was in (without doubt) the toughest flag position I've ever putted to. Miss it either side and you were screwed. We had a fair lash of putts ourselves in fairness. Most memorable green I've ever putted on all the same.
Some of the pin positions were fairly tough when i played there.There was one in particular on the front nine,maybe hole seven,and you would have to hit a pin point accurate shot to have any hope of landing on the green.There is a slant on either side of green but it adds to the fun.I really enjoyed the course.
Spent the weekend on the beautiful cliffs of Ballycotton. If there is a more scenic course in the county I'd be surprised. What a setting. If only I could control the distance of me pitching. Sometimes I end up clearing the green by yards, next hole only go half-way between tee-box and green!! Love the game though, smallie got his junior clubs this summer so he comes along. 3 generations of us out over the weekend... class
I played Ballycotton a few years ago.The sun was beaming down and as you say a superb setting similar to playing in Trabolgan.
Brinny is a lovely course, very well looked after,
anyone play the course out in ja woods in ballingcollig,the greens are a bastard,some of them are impossible to keep the ball on,
Pfizer's have great challenging course
I never played Brinny or Ballincollig.There is also one out the road in Lakewood.
Played Pfizers a few times and thought it was a very nice course and very well looked after.You can't beat a few tricky holes and i think it is the 2nd hole that you play up a hill over a bit of gorse and you just hope you land near the green.Well worth a spin down for a game.
