Course Guide
Dear Golfer,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to The Heritage Golf & Spa
Resort, set in the charming village of Killenard, County Laois in the heart
of Ireland. Just off the main M7 motorway and within 60 minutes south
west of Dublin City Centre.
Currently host venue to The Seve Trophy for 2007 & 2009, the course,
co-designed by Seve Ballesteros & Jeff Howes offers an equally challenging
experience to all levels of golfer with the area of tee boxes on offer. Playing
5,747 yards of the ladies and ranging from 6,516 off the green tees
to 7,319 off the blue tees, a truly wonderful experience for any level of
golfer.
I hope you enjoy your golfing experience here at The Heritage Golf & Spa
Resort and I look forward to welcoming you back to the resort in the very
near future.
Yours in Golf,
Niall Carroll
Golf Operations Manager

An opening tee shot to the left side of the fairway will give a clear view
of the green for your second shot. A slightly downhill approach shot
leads to an elevated green.This shot plays longer than you imagine.

Excellent par 5 where course management is the key to success on the
hole. Stream running across the fairway is very much in play for your tee
shot. Lake on the left of green needs to be avoided in order to set up an
attacking approach shot.

Essential to hit this fairway as bunker complexes on both sides of fairway
are extremely well positioned. This hole plays directly into prevailing
wind. As a result the hole plays longer than its yardage.This green is well
positioned at front with bunkers on both sides.

Once again you must avoid large bunkers off the tee on both sides. A
stream runs down the right side of the green and bisects the fairway.
Very tempting 2nd shot but positioning still is the wise choice. Small
undulating green.

to be any chance of going for the green in two. Be short of the pin as the
green slopes severely to the water.

Left to right dog-leg par 5 reachable in two for long hitters. An accurate
drive down the right will bring the green into range for the 2nd shot. A
large bunker complex protects the green on all sides, so you may need to
lay up some 80 yrds short. Risk or reward par 5.

There is a quarry waiting just off the right side of the green for those
trying to drive the green.The ideal strategy is a 3 or 4 iron tee shot, then
wedge or a 9 iron to a small green sloping from back to front. All the left
side of this hole is heavily bunkered. A great short hole.

Tee shot needs to be positioned down the left side in order to avoid
bunkers on right. Prevailing wind blows across this hole pushing the 2nd
shot towards the large lake just to the right of the green.Two good shots
required to hit this green. Superb par 4.

at approx. 230 yds off the tee. 2nd shot is played slightly uphill to an
elevated green. Bunkered on both sides. Large green sloping from back to

fairway. This hole plays into prevailing wind so position of next shot is
crucial in order to set up correct approach to a long narrow green.There
is a big fall off to the right just short of the green.

Turning for home this hole may seem an easy task as it is the only hole
with no bunkers, but the green is the key to success here. A relatively
short 2nd shot to an extremely undulating green falling away on all
sides. Accuracy is the key.

A very demanding tee shot with lake on left side of fairway. A slight draw
here off the tee sets you up for an approach shot to a green, tucked up
against the lake with heavy bunkering on the right. A very intimidating
finishing hole!
