Due to open in the middle of 2018 the Lodge including 5 four bedroom Cottages and a 10,000 sq ft Spa will be a luxury home from home for members of the Hogs Head Golf Club which recently opened for play in August 2017. Built to a luxurious 5* specification 'The Lodge at Hogs Head' promises a unique and personable lodging experience unrivalled in Ireland. Waterville (An Coireán) is a small coastal village located between the Atlantic Ocean and Lough Currane on the scenic and famous Ring of Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way. The course is the first in Ireland designed by the Robert Trent Jones II firm, and has been built on a sand-capped site and planted with three varieties of fescue grasses – all of which are native to the Irish coast. “We have incorporated all the great elements of golf that people seek when they come to Ireland,” said Robert Trent Jones, Jr. “Hogs Head is a golf course that will fascinate you and hold your interest every time you play it. We provided multiple choices of how to play many of the holes, given the weather of the day. It will be different every day with that hidden dimension of variable winds.” “The owner’s vision is to create a championship calibre golf course equal to Ireland’s unsurpassed passion for the game of golf, a passion we wholeheartedly share,” Jones said. “Our working motto has been, ‘built by friends, for friends, for fun.’ The new Lodge at Hogs Head is currently being built on the site of the Waterville Lake Hotel and previously the Southern Lake Hotel which formed part of the Great Southern Hotel Group. The location is steeped in traditions past of welcoming guests to this beautiful and breath-taking part of coastal Ireland. read more
