Holywood has proved over the years that it is an ideal course to improve your short game and shot making skills. It has produced no fewer than five PGA Golf Professionals and one Golfing Superstar in the form of European and world touring professional Rory McIroy.
Rory states that” Holywood was a great course for me to learn the game on, it has all the traits that develop your game from playing it regularly. It helps you to learn to shape your shots, places emphasis on your short game and creates more versatile and adaptable golf game through the variety of different shots encountered. I have no doubt that the course helped me to become the golfer I am today”.
