The Heritage golf club Laois

At 7,319 yards off the Championship tees this par 72 Course is an inspiring challenge for any golfer. Striding to the first tee it stretches around you, undulating fairways and lush grass as far as the eye can see, enchanting lakes and an ocean of bunkers.

The greens. speak of the greens and you'll find words of praise rolling off you tongue as smoothly as the ball across the perfect surface. Acknowledged as one of the greatest players of all time Seve's name is for the first time associated with a Golf Course in Ireland or the U.K.
