THE GOLF
Glasson, Athlone, Birr and Ballinasloe
You will enjoy Glasson no matter what your level of golf expertise. The course is cleverly crafted, allowing you tee off for a relaxing round while soaking up the atmosphere, or test your game to championship level. Athlone is a superb parkland course situated on the shores of Lough Ree and exploits the natural splendour of its surroundings. Its tree-lined fairways and undulating terrain, coupled with excellent greens, make it a true test of golf. Birr Golf Club was originally part of the Estate of the Earl of Rosse, and is a wonderful undulating parkland course with several very challenging holes and always presented in tip-top condition. Ballinasloe Golf Club is renowned for its excellent greens and with water features on four holes. Founded in 1894, this mature course has some beautifully designed dogleg holes and a warm and friendly clubhouse atmosphere.
