A classic championship venue, Fota has also hosted the Irish PGA Championship and no fewer than three Irish Amateur Opens. It lies in the heart of a 780 acre estate which is included in, "The Inventory of Outstanding Landscapes in Ireland". The splendid woodlands are woven into a challenging, par 71, 6,927 yard course which is very much in the traditional mode, featuring pot bunkers and undulating putting surfaces.
