My first taste of links golf, Fantastic! at this price you cant go wrong. The front nine are very tough the back nine a little easier. If your in Dublin play this course, the best public course i have played.

A succession of rugby injuries & subsequent long-term lay-offs have left me with a mid-high handicap, although I can be a little bit better than that - if only by being able to draw on best part of 20 years playing experience when it matters.

However, even on a bright July afternoon, with a very stiff North-Easterly howling in off the Irish Sea - I can honestly say that the first 9 holes are the toughest I have ever faced.

There ain't a course planner, and all your eyes see is shi ... - gorse! The Golden Rule is if you see safety, aim for it. This may be 110 yards (still the best option), or a 240 yard carry (hit & hope - no option).

Just like a Playstation game, the locals will tell you of a hidden plateau here, or a path through the minefield there. Do you feel lucky ?

Like many Links courses, the majority of the back 9 is packed into the land available (in this case the field over the road), and therefore quite tame.

However, the 17th & 18th are proper, and serve to remind you of what has been either a pure joy (flat calm), or pure hell (anything other than flat calm).

Corballis Golf links is a superb course. If you play it on a clear day the views will match any Links course. Once you play it you will want to return again and again and again.........................

I have played Corballis Links many times over the years and as public golf courses go, it is one of the best I have ever played.

It is a short course, about 5000 yds in total. The first nine is the real test, especially the 2nd and 3rd holes. The 3rd is a very long par 4 which is a dog legs to the right off the tee. This hole used to be a par5. The second nine is a lot easier with about 4 par 3's.

The greens are always in excellent condition and if the weather is good the views are superb. I have been told many times that Bernard Langer enjoyed playing this course whenever he was in Dublin.
