Characteristics

Located just three miles from Tullamore and only 45 minutes from the K Club, venue of the 2006 Ryder Cup, Esker Hills is a genuine hidden gem and one of Irish golfs best kept secrets.

More than 10,000 years ago the awesome natural forces of the dying Ice Age powerfully sculpted the unique landscape of Offaly. As the great glaciers retreated, they left narrow ridges of sand and gravel. These ridges now comprise the magic Esker Riada, from which the course gets its name. There are the dramatic undulations of valleys and plateaux that, along with natural lakes and woodlands, provide splendid design features.
