Ennis Golf Club

Description founded in 1907, is situated in County Clare, in the heart of Irelands scenic Mid-West, some 30 km from Clare's idyllic coastline and the famous 200m high Cliffs of Moher, and the limestone landscapes of the Burren. With a number of hotels and facilities close to the course it's the ideal place to stay and play. The club is widely regarded for it's hospitality and welcome and the course itself is a testing Par 70 Parkland course. A brand new clubhouse was opened in 1999 with a lounge bar, dining room as well as the standard mod cons. It's really a true test of your golfing skills and a test you'll want to take again.

Shannon Golf Club

Description established in 1966 was designed by John D Harris as a major championship course of international standard. The course has, over the forty years, matured into one of the best inland courses in Munster and Ireland. A parkland course of 6763 yards with fairways of natural meadow grass planted on either side with Spruce, Evergreens and a wide variety of deciduous trees. For a number of years we hosted a pro-am, which attracted the top ten professionals in Europe together with a contingent of US stars. We have hosted both Irish and European amateur championships and will host the Men’s Amateur Irish Close Championship in 2011.

Dromoland Golf Club

Description the Golf Club was set up in 1962 on the grounds of the Dromoland Castle. Since then it has catered to many of the best personalities and golfers around. In 2003, the Dromoland golf course was redesigned to the highest standards by Joe Carr and Ron Kirby. It is situated on 400 unspoilt acres of lush wooded parkland enhanced by the gently flowing River Rine which becomes a feature for three of the many beautiful holes on the course.. You could say that the new look course is Clare's answer to Augusta and it's been elevated to premier status within Irish golfing circles. In 2006 a new Golf Academy was added to the course. The greens in this are the same Creeping Bent grass that is used out on the course so make your mistakes here. Between the facilities and the spectacular views that you will see around the course this will be a golfing experience that you are unlikely to forget too soon.

Membership Offer

Dooks is a popular club - with some 12,000 visitors every year, because of the modest green fees and the welcome received. There is a lot of history in the club and this is evident in the banter between members who have played golf through good times and bad.

It was the members who saved Dooks in the early sixties by raising funds to buy the club. Shortly afterwards the course was extended to 18 holes with 9 members assigned the responsibility for building a hole each. Understandably, there is great pride in Dooks Golf Club and as former Captain Mike Breen, says "There's always a great buzz in the bar and the club's name is 'Friendly Dooks.' It's wonderful to be a member here."

Membership for 2010 is now open! The Club have introduced new Special Offers for people to join this wonderful golf club. For just €166 per month you can become a Full Member. The Club have also introduced a new spousal rate for just €75 per month. Terms and conditions apply to all offers.

EuroPro Tour returns in 2011

Galgorm Castle Golf Club is pleased to announce the PGA EuroPro Tour will be returning to the Ballymena venue once more, ensuring the 2011 event will be the most high profile professional event to be staged in Northern Ireland.

After the phenomenal success of the inaugural event in 2010, Galgorm Castle can confirm the 2011 PGA EuroPro event will take place from June 27th-July 1st and promises to be the province’s standout tournament of the year where the stars of the future will battle it out over the championship parkland.

In 2010, a combination of excellent weather, high quality golf and a dramatic finish ensured big crowds spilled through the gates at Galgorm Castle.

England’s James Hepworth eventually won at the first play-off hole when up against Australia’s Daniel Gaunt to secure his full playing rights on the European Challenge Tour. Gaunt went on to win his main European Tour card and recently bettered Tiger Woods at the Australian Masters - where they finished third and fourth respectively.

The international event will be a welcome boost for the local economy, attracting visitors to the province from far and wide. Galgorm Castle, Galgorm Resort & Spa and the general Ballymena area will be placed in the global shop window and recognised as one of Ireland’s great golfing destinations.

The George Best Foundation will be involved through the pro-am and gala dinner to raise funds for its many ongoing projects to help provide children with a better lifestyle through participation in sport.

"Galgorm Castle is delighted to welcome the PGA EuroPro Tour back to Northern Ireland. After the wonderful success enjoyed in 2010, we hope to build on the success and add even more to the event in 2011," explains Gary Henry, General Manager Galgorm Castle Golf Club.

"We aim to make 2011 bigger and better and much more than just a golf event. We’ll create a wonderful festival atmosphere; bringing our fantastic town centre on board, house a larger tented village with more varied and interesting stands plus many other activities to appeal to all the family.”

“This is a natural progression with the recent launch of our 'Golfing at Galgorm' product. The PGA EuroPro event is the ideal platform to showcase what Galgorm has to offer,” added Henry.

‘Golfing at Galgorm’ offers the ultimate play and stay experience by combining two unique locations to create a truly bespoke luxury golfing product. Play the championship course at Galgorm Castle, situated within the estate grounds of one of Ireland's most historic castles, and stay at the four-star Galgorm Resort & Spa where you can rediscover relaxation in a true haven of tranquillity and luxury.

Golf in Northern Ireland is currently riding on the crest of a wave with US Open champion Graeme McDowell enjoying a standout year. He and Rory McIlroy helped Europe to victory in the Ryder Cup, while Darren Clarke was an integral cog at Celtic Manor as one of the vice-captains. The 2011 PGA EuroPro event at Galgorm is just another ingredient to play its part in the ongoing success of golf in Northern Ireland.
