North West Golf Club will never host the Irish Open, or the Irish Amateur Championship for that matter. At just a little over 6,200 yards it isn't considered long enough to stage a tournament of note. Don't be foiled into thinking its an easy course though - it isn't. Sure there are short holes at Northwest. Sure it only plays a par of 70. don't let looks deceive you, however. Northwest is a links course that can make you feel you play to a higher handicap than the one you showed up with. you will realize that as you stand on the first tee looking at a tough par 4 that measures 440-yards. Making four at the first is no easy task, even for good players.
At Northwest you will find par-4s ranging from 343-yards (the 4th), to 443-yards(the 12th), a definite drive and long iron hole for most players. You will find only two par-5s on the layout and four par-3s. Shortest of the par-3s is the 16th, which streaches to only 93-yards. However, it is surrounded by sand so hitting the green is imperative.
