| Ballaghaderreen Golf Club is affiliated to
the Golfing Union of Ireland and to the Irish Ladies Golfing Union.
The Club was founded in 1936 and has had a number of homes , but
arrived at its present location in the early 1950's. The Club has
approximately 300 members with a split of approx 50/50 between Local
and Distance Members.
The Course is a 9 hole parkland course, on which accuracy is
essential. No, not because of bunkers, but because of strategically
placed Trees. Trees play a major part on every hole, or for the
better players trees play no part at all! There are alternate
tees on six of the back nine holes, so there is little chance
to get complacent. Par for the 18 holes is 70, course length 5339
metres for men and 4678 metres for ladies and SS for men is 68
and for ladies 69. The course is situated some 3 miles outside
Ballaghaderreen and is well sign-posted from the town.
