Cork - 18 stops - par 56

This is Cork, where the map is the actual city and the round is played on its real streets. The holes are built from local attractions, ending the day at the Immaculate Conception. It is a full round of 18 holes with a par of 56, covering a walk of 11.2 km. Skip knows these pavements well, though the ball uses 30 portals to skip across town. A few crumbs might fall, but the focus is the street.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Pick a city

The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.

Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.

03

Sightsee between strokes

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

THE CORK ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral

You will first notice the three spires of Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, a Church of Ireland cathedral in Cork city. William Burges was the architect of the building, which is designed in the Gothic Revival style. The inception of the current cathedral was in 1865, but the site has a longer history. Christian use of the location dates back to the 7th-century AD, and the original building survived until the 12th century. Around 1536, the cathedral became part of the established church, and a previous building was constructed here in the 1730s.

It is a great spot to clear your head before diving into the various displays the gallery has to offer.

Cork City Gaol

You might expect a typical museum, but this site began as a place of confinement. Cork City Gaol is a former prison located in Cork City, Ireland. Today, it has been repurposed as a museum where you can explore the history of the site. I've always found the atmosphere here quite heavy, even with the crowds. It is a stark reminder of the city's past, preserved for visitors to walk through today. Whether you are interested in the architecture or the stories, there is plenty to see within these old walls.

Let me show you Elizabeth Fort. This 17th-century star fort sits off Barrack Street in Cork, Ireland. It was originally built as a defensive fortification on high-ground outside the city walls. Over the years, the site has been used as a police station, prison, and military barracks. Since 2014, the fort has developed as a tourism heritage site, and the walls have been accessible to the public on a regular basis since September of that year. I find the star shape makes for a great view of the surroundings.

It is believed to be one of the last two surviving Huguenot graveyards in western Europe. Because of its rarity and age, the site is recorded in the Record of Monuments and Places.

This nonprofit organization had its inception in 1985. I find it a bit funny that a whole building is dedicated to something so creamy, but it is a great way to see how the local trade worked.

Red Abbey Tower

You will first notice the distinct color of the Red Abbey Tower, which got its name from the reddish sandstone used in its construction. This 14th-century Augustinian abbey is now a set of ruins located in Cork, Ireland. While much of the site is gone, the central bell tower of the abbey church still stands. It is one of the last remaining visible structures dating to the medieval walled town of Cork. I always find it interesting how a single tower can hold so much of the city's old layout.
