Par breakdown for the 9-hole course

Elm Hall’s par of 35 is a mix of two par-5s, four par-4s, and three par-3s, a balanced setup typical of parkland courses. The Discover Ireland tourism board listing confirms the course is GUI-affiliated and designed for all ability levels.

The pattern

A 9-hole par 35 with water on more than half the holes means accuracy off the tee matters more than raw distance at Elm Hall.

The implication: if you’re used to flat, open courses, the water hazards here will demand a sharper short game and smarter club selection. That’s especially true for the three par-3s, where a misjudged iron can quickly cost a stroke.

Golfers should plan for extra strokes on the water-guarded holes and choose tees based on their comfort with hazard play.
