| Notes |
A beautiful area that's packed with history, and the courses takes in sweeps of scenery and some interesting buildings. Why not make a weekend of it by including the Bere island park run on the Saturday. The weather is looking good for the weekend. If you are camping check out the Berehaven golf club, a great site. All courses pass through a new section of the map has been made available to the club and we thank the landowners (Patrick O'Sullivan & Coillte). Areas of the old map have been recently updated. A lot of the forest is impassable but there are areas that can be navigated and contains some hidden gems. If you are doing the long course do come early.
