Dunmore East Golf Classic & Faithlegg
Faithlegg is a superb golf course that is one of the highlights of booking the Dunmore East Golf Classic. Your teams will enjoy this scenic golfers paradise.
Opened in May 1993, Faithlegg Golf Course Waterford, Ireland, was designed by renowned Irish golf course architect Mr. Paddy Merrigan.
The course carries Merrigan’s familiar stamp of difficulty, undulating greens, water hazards and perfectly placed sand traps, all of which, complete and heighten the challenge which is “Faithlegg”.
An agricultural science graduate who became a lecturer in soil science, Paddy worked with Eddie Hackett to create the links at Waterville and then embarked on his own career as an architect in the late 1980’s, creating more than 20 courses.
It is a testament to his formidable skills that his creations remain much-loved members of the Irish golfing family while his remodelling work at places like Woodenbridge, Royal Curragh, Elm Park, Delgany and Sutton has earned much praise,
His collaboration with Joe Carr at the Old Head of Kinsale and his designs at Slieve Russell, Tulfarris and Faithlegg are a great testament to his memory and Waterford is blessed with Faithlegg House Hotel and Golf Resort, located on a 200-acre site on the River Suir estuary, six miles east of Waterford City.
Now a thriving resort that’s popular with golfers and families alike, it seems incredible to think that 29 years have passed since it opened in 1993, going on to host the Ladies Irish Open Championship in 2000 and 2001 and the PGA Europro Tour from 2007 to 2009.
Enjoy 3 amazing days of Golf, Food and Fun when you book a team in the 31st Annual Dunmore East Golf Classic. We hope to see you there.
