Decent pitch & putt courses in NE...

Wertz

Myself and a couple of mates have got the urge for a few rounds of pitch and putt, what with the weather being the way it is. But we're kind of tired of the one near DIT in Dundalk and have decided to try and find a decent one out in the surrounding countryside instead.
Usual stuff like the phonebook and google have proved fruitless in the search, so I thought maybe some of you on here could suggest a course...I'd prefer it to be close enough to Dundalk, but I don't mind travelling a wee bit further if it's worth the trip.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Well, I don't play pitch and putt, and I have no idea which courses are better than others, but there's one in Collon in Co. Louth and one in Newtown in Co. Meath. The latter's just outside Ardee, although just over the border. There's one in Drogheda too, called Cement Pitch and Putt. Elsewhere in Meath, there are courses in Navan, Julianstown, Kells, Castletown and Athboy, if I remember correctly. Castletown isn't far from Louth either. I think there might be one in Louth Village too and possibly Termonfeckin. As I say, I don't play, so I can't vouch for any of these.

have played on the newtown and castletown course's, wouldnt reccomend the newtown one, holes are too close together and all seem to be the same just varying lenghts.

the castletown one is a very good course and would highly reccomend it, some pretty hard holes in it, to get to it you take the kells road from ardee and follow the road till you come to to a sort of y junction, you just peel off to the left and come to a town on a crossroads.

collon is supposed to be a very good course too although i've never played it so dont know

I like this course, you have to go into the pub to pay green fees.

You park in the yard beside the pub.

Travel out the Carrickmacross Rd from Dundalk untill you come to the turn off for Inniskeen, you ll see the pub on the corner and then P & P course is right next to it.

Isnt there a P & P course in Inniskeen as well.

Good stuff folks, Collon sounds good and Iniskeen too for starters...except for the pub bit since I'll likely be designated driver...

castletown is only about the same distance from dundalk as collon and i would reccomend it, it might be a little hard to find though

Played Iniskeen last weekend for the first time in 2 years, well impressed with the new holes & the upkeep of the course, not too far out of Dundalk & well worth a visit imo.

The P&P course in Julianstown is fantastic, it's well worth the trip.

Went looking in the Iniskeen direction today...drove past the one on the carrick road not realising and ended up in the village. We played that one instead. Not a bad wee course but the river is a headwrecker. Good craic though. Defo gonna try the one on the carrick rd over the w/e.

Julianstown...bound to be packed in this weather but maybe one for less fair weather.
