The visual delights of this golf course are legion - the meandering River Slaney, just a few hundred metres away, its banks dressed with the rich cloth of mature deciduous trees, the lakes mirroring the haunting splendours of the mountains of East Carlow and Wicklow. The course offers a formidable challenge to any golfer with its rich population of mature trees, lakes and rolling terrain. There are no easy holes, with wide landing areas the only concession to demanding approach shots to almost every green. A round of golf at Mount Wolseley is always a treat to remember for golfers who enjoy a challenging and relaxing game, in what is a memorable and historic location.
