Athenry Golf Club
About the Golf Club
Athenry Golf Club is located 15km east of Galway City on the N6 (Dublin Road). it is a parkland course – most holes are tree lined and two feature holes are cut into bordering forest. Athenry offers an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all standards, and is uncrowded midweek. A beautiful mix of park and heathland, Athenry displays the elements of old and new following its extension from 9 to 18 holes in the early nineties. Not withstanding a feeling of spaciousness, a number of holes cut their way through adjoining woodlands, particularly on 3 par threes which take to the woods for protection! Eddie Hackett was course architect and his hallmark appreciation of the surrounding environment is clearly evident on a visit to this very hospitable club.
