Watch in 1080HD Waterford Golf Club, Waterford, Ireland Founded in 1912, Waterford Golf Club is situated on a hill overlooking the historic city of Waterford in the Sunny South East of Ireland. The front 9 was designed by Willie Park (twice Open Champion), and the back 9 was designed by the great James Braid, five times Open Champion.With its magnificent views, this parkland course is a gem on the outskirts of Waterford. The irregular city, with its towers and steeples spread before the eye along the valley, and in the west, Slievenamon and the Comeragh Mountains, make a background of enduring splendor.A parkland course with good views of the countryside. The original nine holes were officially opened in June 1913.The architect of this layout was Willie Park Jnr of Musselburgh. This was extended to 18 holes by the much celebrated architect, James Braid.Together they successfully created one of the finest inland courses in Ireland. This is exemplified by the spectacular closing stretch, in particular the magnificent downhill 18th. The elevated tee for this classic closing hole couldn’t have been better positioned.The 360 degree views over the surrounding countryside of three counties are quite awe-inspiring and the narrow gorse lined fairway demands the most accurate of tee shots.Our course is particularly renowned for the quality of its putting surfaces and for its friendly atmosphere.The course will appeal to golfers of all abillites.
