A great break from the wind and rain on the surrounding links golf courses. Fota island resort was a welcome refreshing break. Easy to locate and a fabulous facility. I would go back when on tour.

Fota island resort has three nine hole stretches. These are mixed to give a different 18 holes every day. All golf courses were in great condition. Belvelly back nine seems to be a bit newer and not as well established as the other two nines. Be careful on the 14th tee of Belvelly as it is near the golf academy and the tee is littered with range balls. Fota Island Resort club house is very good with excellent food with large portions at fairly reasonable prices. I had one of the best portions of fish and chips for a long time.
