Area Information
The nearby Slieve Bloom Mountains are internationally acclaimed by hill-walking enthusiasts, where organised walks (either guided or unguided) can be organised on request. Horse-riding is also a popular pursuit, and the local hunt often begins at Racket Hall.
Angling is available on the local River Brosna and at the nearby Laois Angling Centre where two well-stocked lakes provide you with endless hours of enjoyment.
There are many historic attractions to visit including Monaincha Abbey (31st wonder of the world) and the Cross and Round Tower (a monastery founded by St Cronan around 600 AD). You can also see the many local castles in Ballaghmore, Birr, and Leap Castle. Dominating the heart of Roscrea town is the 13th century Norman Castle, which also houses an impressive heritage centre.
Racket Hall has built up an international reputation for offering great golf at affordable prices. Choose from one of our many local courses with beautifully challenging parkland layouts and stunning scenic views. Golf packages can be tailor-made to suit all pockets and tastes over any time period. Individual couples, golf groups, or societies will find Racket Hall to be a memorable haven for superb golf, delicious food, cosy bars, great conversation and above all, great fun.
