Waterford
The county does not brim over with golf clubs – of the 90 Munster clubs affiliated to the GUI, only 11 are from Waterford – but the clubs have done very well in major inter club competitions in recent years, with three clubs claiming provincial titles: Tramore winning the Barton Shield in 2011, Carrick-on-Suir claiming the Jimmy Bruen Shield in 2010 and West Waterford lifting the Senior Cup in 2009. We list eight of the best courses in County Waterford, including – Tramore, Waterford Castle, Faithlegg, Dungarvan, Gold Coast and West Waterford.
