Faithlegg Golf Club “Tee Off” 2019 with a further planned investment

Substantial investment has been announced by Faithlegg Golf Club, plans are underway as they continue to improve the championship golf course and facilities at the Co. Waterford location. A further €100,000 will be invested into the course this year taking the club’s total investment since 2016 to €300,000.

Since his arrival to the club just over three years ago, Director of Golf Karl Cullen has overseen every element of the club improvements which have included the refurbishment of the Clubhouse, course verti-draining and sanding, new course signage and the addition of state-of-the-art buggies and electric trollies for members and visitors. The arrival of a new course rough mower and the maintenance and improvement of course aesthetics is now the focus for 2019, the final phase of what has been a long but thoroughly worthwhile investment. 

Speaking about the improvements at Faithlegg Golf Club, Karl is delighted with the progress so far. “Every year for the past three years we have made significant progress on and off the course improving the customer experience for our members, visitors and societies. We have also introduced several successful initiatives around our membership packages and green fees, currently we are running a society offer which includes a trip to Portugal for the winning team all and all this has had a positive knock on effect in terms of the Pro Shop and Clubhouse food revenues. It’s a busy time!” he said.

Last year was a big year for the ambitious golf club; not only did they celebrate their 25th Anniversary but In December Faithlegg Golf Club was announced as one of the ‘Top 100 Courses in Ireland’ by Irish Golfer Magazine – a first for the club and validation by the external judging panel of all the hard work and investment that has been put into the course and facilities. Karl and team were also delighted to be in Destination Ireland’s ‘Top 100 Golfing Destinations in Ireland’, a prestigious listing that will put them on the radar of non-domestic golfers.

The next generation of golfers at Faithlegg have also been busy racking up their own significant achievements in 2018 with three of their Junior members having made great strides in their blossoming golfing careers. Rory Fives gained his first cap for Munster Under 16s, Rory Milne won the Munster Under 17s Close for the second time in two years (the first time anyone has ever done so) and got his third cap for Munster. Alex King won the Leinster boys Under 14 Championship, was runner up in the Ulster Under 14s Championship and won the Inter Pros with the Munster Under 14 team.

On and off the course it’s an exciting time to be a member or visitor at Faithlegg Golf Club this year, and there’s even more to come!
