Tuam
Golf Club
Tuam Golf Club in County Galway has a very central location
in the province of Connacht.
Located 20 minutes from the tourist resort of
Galway.
Course Description :
Relatively flat terrain
with meandering fairways, built on 200 acres of
partly rich soil and partly peat bog. A wonderful
selection of hazards including water, drains, bunkers,
natural rough and the 20,000 varied species trees.
The entire grounds of the club are a natural wildlife
sanctuary.
Since
it’s foundation in 1905 the club has had
two previous courses. Firstly, located at
the sand hills of Cloonascaragh and secondly,
at Mayfield on the Dunmore road. During the
mid seventies the club moved to the current
location at Cloonascaragh on the Athenry
Road. This championship course was initially
designed by the renown Eddie Hackett, with
more recent improvements by Christy O Connor
Jr. Described by regular visitors as
probably the most improved course in the
province, the club caters for individual
or group visitors Monday to Saturday.
This
challenging parkland course, with its flat
terrain, caters for the enthusiastic low
handicapper as well as the aged and less
gifted golfer. The 20,000 thousand varied
species trees provide shelter for a vast
array of wildlife, many of whom can frequently
viewed strolling the fairways, such as foxes
and pheasants.
Over
the years Tuam Golf Club has hosted many
golfing championships.
