Slievenamon Golf Club
Distance: 30min Drive
Founded in 1999, the Course was transformed in 2018 through the input of Course Designer and Construction Consultant Esie O’Mahony, who was also involved in designing Courses in Doonbeg in Co Clare, Loch Lomond in Scotland and a number of high concept Golf Courses in Spain. It now presents as a mature, feature rich, 18 - Hole par 70 Course measuring 5,200 yards, providing an enjoyable game for all categories of golfer, particularly those who value shorter Courses where accuracy, rather than length, is the key.
The Golf Course is expertly maintained to the highest standards with fast true Greens, well defined Fairways and graded Roughs that remains a pleasure to play for all our members and guests.

Mitchelstown Golf Club
Distance: 16mins Drive
Founded in 1910 Mitchelstown Golf Club lived a quiet and genteel life as a nine hole golf course for the better part of seventy years. In the late eighties as the Irish economy and society was entering a new phase it became apparent that Mitchelstown Golf Club needed to look forward. Being surrounded on all sides by valuable and expensive farming land the move to an eighteen hole course was not easy in financial terms so the step forward was accomplished in two stages. Stage one was the construction of six new holes which opened in 1994. Stage two followed some years later with the construction of a further six holes which opened in 2003 and the dream of a top class eighteen hole course had been realised.
