Carlow Golf Club

Carlow Golf Club, founded in 1899 is a course that has the richly deserved reputation of being one of the finest parkland courses in Ireland.

The natural terrain remains unchanged and the fine draining soil gives rise to a superb springy turf which earns for Carlow the reputation of inland links.

The four par 3’s are excellent, the best being the 6th which can vary from a seven iron to a long iron or even a wood for the shorter player.

Carlow Golf Club is consistently ranked in the top 30 of Golf Digest Magazine’s “Top 100 Golf Courses in Ireland” and have achieved 29th place in the 2015 rankings. Ryder Cup star Christy O’Connor Junior once described Carlow’s 16th as the finest 16th hole in the country and, describing our course as one “not to be missed”, the eminent Irish Independent golf columnist Liam Kelly also said that Carlow is “Truly a gem” and that “Class is permanent”.

So it’s not surprising that it included on our 2018 tour!
