"Mention of the Georgia masterpiece (Augusta) calls to mind that Rathsallagh has been described as 'Augusta without the azaleas'. It is certainly a course of remarkable beauty especially in autumn when the giant trees turn crimson gold"

Dermot Gilleece - The Irish Times
"Rathsallagh is built on one of the finest pieces of land I have ever seen and there are some truly beautiful holes."

Peter Thomson - Five times British Open Champion
