Oughterard makes for a really pleasant day of golf. Situated in one
Connemara's most delightful villages, it has a
nice variety of holes to suit the better player and novice alike.
The club is situated adjacent to the 15th century
Aughnanure Castle, 15
miles west of Galway City en-route to
Connemara. It is a delightful eighteen-hole course, excellently maintained
for the discerning golfer. Mature trees
demand thought and accuracy from the tee, and elevated greens require
precision and patience. The relatively short
front nine injects a false sense of security which is quickly deflated on
some very testing holes over the inward
nine, leaving the player with memories of a fair but demanding course.
Generous lush fairways bordered by mature trees and woodlands are a
feature of this delightful and excellently
maintained course. Stone walls reflect a bygone era when the lands once
belonged to the ferocious O'Flaherty clan of
nearby Aughnanure Castle. The clubhouse, converted from majestic farmhouse
buildings, offers visiting golfers every
modern facility, including a well-stocked pro shop, a first class
restaurant and a homely and welcoming bar.
