Curragh Golf Club

The Curragh Golf Club, founded in 1883, has the oldest Golf Course in Ireland dating from 1852. it is an 18 hole par 72 heathland course over undulating terrain. The Curragh, a plain of over 4,700 acres, is owned by the Department of Defence.

It is renowned for housing the biggest military installation, and for having a unique natural grass sward, which is conducive to being the home of the Irish Race Horse Industry.

This stunning first hole gives you a great taster for what is to follow on the course. It is a brilliant 522 yards par 5 and one must watch out for the bunker on the right if you are laying up short and hoping to be on the green in three.
