IOMAIRÍ AN GHORTA (The Famine Ridge)
The fairway takes its name from shapes of potato ridges discovered close t0 the tees during the construction of the course, which date fro the Great Famine of 1845-47. In the decade preceding those years a village, now vanished, called Corboley Morgan, stood about 200/300 metres north of the main entrance to the course, and consisted of an untidy cluster of twenty-three cabins or huts – probably overcrowded thatch hovels.
