St. Helen's Bay
[Co. Wexford]
St. Helens Bay Golf Resort has over the last eight years developed into one of Ireland's foremost golf destinations. With a challenging 27 holes, panoramic views of the South Wexford Coastline and comfortable on-site accommodations, the visitor is guaranteed an enjoyable golfing experience.
Located only 5 minutes away from Rosslare Ferry Port - the busiest port in Ireland - and 20 minutes from Wexford town. Dublin Airport is a two hour drive away, follow the N25 towards Rosslare Harbour and take the second turn right at the new school at Kilrane village and follow the St. Helen's Bay signs.
The resort consists of two courses, St. Helens Bay Resort (18hole Championship course)and Tuskar Rock Golf Club (9hole Executive course). Ryder Cup hero Philip Walton is the designer of the original 18 hole St. Helens Bay Resort course, a design that was so good it has not been changed since. With majestic sea and beach views the 16th, 17th and 18th holes have since become some of the best known and admired holes in all of Ireland.
On 5th April 2003 another nine holes (Tuskar Rock GC) was opened for the first time thus enabling St Helen’s to offer a choice of 27 holes thereby giving members a visitors a wider selection of golf challenges.
In addition to the golf facilities over the years other amenities have been added including full bar & restaurant facilities, 5 hard tennis courts, Children’s playground, and of course 320 holiday cottages most of which are privately owned, but available for rent.
