Carton House – Montgomery Course

Carton House, A Fairmont Managed Hotel is home to two magnificent golf courses, The O’Meara, a stunning parkland spread and The Montgomerie, a unique “inland links” style creation.

Quite different yet complimentary to The O’Meara, is The Montgomerie, opened in June 2003. This magnificent new course is Montgomerie’s second course design – his first in Ireland and the UK. He expressed his delight with the course - “This is a unique project and I am privileged to be associated with it. You can’t call it a links course, but it plays like a links and has all the characteristics of a links. In designing this course, I attempted to go back to a more traditional course”. This magnificent course was home to the 2005 Nissan Irish Open and will play host to the tournament once again in May 2006. It was also winner of the 2004 Best New Design Award in Golf World Magazine and was ranked in the top 10 courses by US Golfers Digest Magazine.

The Montgomerie home to the 2005 & 2006 Nissan Irish Open, has everything that encourages strategic play that helps to make golf so fascinating. At full stretch – 7,300 yards - this links style creation is championship stuff. Winner of best new course design 2004 in Golf World magazine and rated in the top 10 courses in US Golfers Digest magazine
