Area information

Golfing in Cork is a real pleasure. Few other areas offer such an abundance of world class championship golf courses including Fota Island and a choice of golf courses in Kinsale. All tastes and all levels of proficiency are well catered for. In the course of a day, you could be teeing off from a wind-blown hill, pitching in a wooded valley, and putting for a birdie perched on a cliff edge with the Atlantic far below. With almost 20 wonderful courses within 25 km, Belvedere Lodge is the ideal base for your golfing trip to Cork. Ireland is renowned for its fishing, and Cork itself on the wonderful South Coast of Ireland, one of the deepest natural harbours in Europe. The county's magnificent coastline has been shaped by the Atlantic into bays and coves, rocky headlands and long strands of beach. Many people come here for this reason alone, where there are many areas to enjoy a high level of fishing. You can enjoy coarse, game or sea fishing. Cork is referred to as the "beautiful city, charming and pretty". Established over 800 years ago by St. Finbarr, the city sits nestled between 2 branches of the River Lee. Because of its friendliness and manageable size, visitors quickly develop a rapport with the town and its people. They develop a sense of "home from home". If you visit to Cork, you will want to return.
