Golf

Mullingar Golf Club. Mullingar Golf Club is a demanding—some say roller-coaster—18-hole course designed by James Braid. Mature oak, beech, and ash trees surround the idyllic course in undulating parkland, making precision a priority with every shot. Many holes have special features but the trees are common to all of them, presenting an old-style arboreal challenge, which visiting golfers enjoy. You can book your tee time online. The club is open to visitors from Monday to Saturday and is noted for the warmth of its welcome. Belvedere, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. 044/934–8366; www.mullingargolfclub.ie. Mon. €20, Tues.--Fri. €35, Sat. €45.
