Care of the Course


Bunkers
Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by them and any nearby made by others. If a rake is within reasonable proximity of the bunker, the rake should be used for this purpose. 

Repair of Divots, Ball-Marks and Damage by Shoes
Players should carefully repair any divot holes made by them and any damage to the putting green made by the impact of a ball (whether or not made by the player himself). On completion of the hole by all players in the group, damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should be repaired. 

Preventing Unnecessary Damage
Players should avoid causing damage to the course by removing divots when taking practice swings or by hitting the head of a club into the ground, whether in anger or for any other reason. 

Players should ensure that no damage is done to the putting green when putting down bags or the flagstick. 

In order to avoid damaging the hole, players and caddies should not stand too close to the hole and should take care during the handling of the flagstick and the removal of a ball from the hole. 
The head of a club should not be used to remove a ball from the hole. 

Players should not lean on their clubs when on the putting green, particularly when removing the ball from the hole. 

The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before players leave the putting green. 

Local notices regulating the movement of golf carts should be strictly observed.

Mount Juliet Wins Ranking



Backspin Magazine which focuses on the Irish Golf Market has introduced an Irish Course Rankings Poll. 

The magazine took an unusual approach to their first Irish Golf Course Rankings in that they ranked the quality and variety of Ireland's Links and Parkland courses separately. A panel of 52 professional and amateur golfers joined by members of the Irish Golfing Media were asked to nominate their favourite courses in both categories. courses that impress and delight the most in order of preference.


We are pleased to announce that Mount Juliet Golf Course achieved poll position Number One in the Parkland/Inland Top 40 golf courses in Ireland and are delighted to have won this prestigious award particularly as it is the first time Backspin has carried out such a poll. 

We congratulate Royal County Down who achieved poll position number 1 in the Links / Shoreline Top 30 golf courses in Ireland and wish to thank Backspin magazine for the honour bestowed on Mount Juliet.
