Testimonials

This experience is one to remember. The course is very challenging on some holes. It is wonderful to see as you play the deer roaming around. They are so used to golfers that they take no notice of you. Waterford Castle have a great deal for golfers in the Summer. The little journey across the river on the ferry adds to the whole experience.
