Planning a society getaway and looking to golf in Cork?
Lee Valley may be the ideal destination for golf in Cork! Located only 15 minutes from Cork City with spectacular views of Lee Valley, we are an 18-hole championship course designed by Christy O’Connor Jr.
Christy O’Connor Jr.
Christy O’Connor was a professional golfer who won four European Tour events, two Senior British Open titles, Two Champions Tour events and the Dunhill British Masters. He also played in the Ryder Cup, and brought his vast experience playing some of the best golf courses in the world to his design. Christy O’Connor Jr. designed our course to have a lot of variety; every hole is different. Making the play both challenging and enjoyable. He’s also responsible for designing Fota’s Deerpark course, a course which many of our visiting golfers like to visit during their time with us.
Family Owned
If there is one word that sums up Lee Valley, it would be family. Literally, in the sense that it is family run, and figuratively, in that there is a warm sense of welcome and belonging to those who frequent our course or restaurant. There is always a member of the family around to greet you and have a chat and the overall atmosphere is one where guests feel at home away from home.
But don’t take our word for it…
‘We spent a week at Lee Valley and had a wonderful time. Golf course had beautiful views, tough but very playable. The owners and their staff were outstanding and we felt like family by the time we left.’
‘… We were taken aback by the staffs hospitality, from the pro shop, bar staff and the owner, Jerry, who when we were unable to play due to bad weather one day, personally took us to Kinsale, showed us around a few drinking establishments and then dropped us back off in Cork (he was drinking orange)….’
Stay….
Lee Valley has twenty four-star luxury holiday homes on the course. The houses overlook the course with panoramic views of the rolling countryside, guests are spoiled for beauty and tranquility. Situated adjacent to the Clubhouse makes it easy for guests to enjoy a delicious meal or a drink or two just steps away from their front door.
