If
the course is a majestic piece of risk and reward,
tease and torment, then the modern airy clubhouse
is quite simply a golfer's sanctuary.
Set
into the hillside that crowns this site it affords
fabulous views of the course, and surrounding countryside.
If the views are stunning, then it is the comfort
offered inside the building that has increased the
club's reputation with members and visitors.
Whilst
its position on the hillside creates an illusion of
a split level design, the reality is that of a two
storey building that divides perfectly into upper
and lower levels. These levels create a natural division
of activity within the clubhouse.
The
lower level is devoted to the golfer exclusively.
It houses all of the changing facilities, committee
member's office, golfer's reception hall and the club
owned Pro Shop. This level remains very much at the
heart of South County Golf, as it provides a natural
gathering area for all players.
The
upper level by contrast is dedicated more to 'Apres
Golf '. The magnificent bar and restaurant areas provide
the perfect setting for the Food and Beverage operation
that has fast become the talk of the Dublin golf scene.
The
varied and interesting menu options offered in both
the bar and restaurant, seem to be only challenged
by the service that delivers them to the eagerly awaiting
diner. It is rare for golf clubs to offer cuisine
of this standard, but the venue itself seems almost
to demand it.
