Castlecomer Golf Club was originally nominated as a GEM by Rory and was added to the Top 100 website on the 17th December 2007 - Rory's comments follow:
Castlecomer, designed by Pat Ruddy, has recently been extended from a 9 to an 18-hole course and it provides one of the finest tests of golf anywhere in Ireland at a very reasonable price. The first four holes can make or break anyone’s card and with its wonderful design and excellent greens, Castlecomer Golf Club provides a wonderful test for scratch golfer and high handicapper. It is a course that I enjoy coming back to again and again and deserves to be recognised as true "GEM".
Pat Ruddy, course designer. commented as follows:
"Seldom does one come across a site so admirably positioned and suited for golf. Right along the main thoroughfares and yet protected from casual wanderers by the River Deen, the site lends itself to good golf. Gently undulating and well endowed with mature trees such as Oak, Turkey Oak, Sycamore, Maple, Lime, Horsechesnut, Spanish Chestnut, Elm, Ash, Douglas Fir, Australian Pine, Beech and Copper Beech, the club is fortunate to have acquired such a site as the old lawns of the Wandesforde Estate".
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
