development of a 4 Star Hotel and championship Golf Course
on 200 acres of beautiful Galway countryside. Construction
of the Golf Course began on the 1st May 2005 and opened
to play in May / June 2007. The course designer Dr. Arthur
Spring, is confident the course will rival the standards
set by courses like the K Club and Druid's Glen. Dr. Spring
says his inspiration for Cregmore Park came from his experience
playing in Augusta, Georgia, home of the Masters. This
major development has been undertaken by Murty and Catherine
McGrath and family on their land in Cregmore, Co. Galway.
Cregmore Park is perfectly located in Co. Galway, only
ten minutes from Galway city centre and 5 minutes drive

| Lahinch Golf Club:
One of the most challenging links golf courses in the
west of Ireland
Lahinch's Old Course has benefited both from the natural
characteristics of the terrain and from the genius of
distinguished course architects. Since the initial laying
out of the links, various improvements have been made
over the years. Alexander Shaw was not long in realizing
that the unique nature of this location deserved very
special development. The obvious choice as architect
was Old Tom Morris of St Andrews. He accepted the challenge,
but other than laying out the tees and greens, he felt
there was little he could do. He commented: 'I consider
the links is as fine a natural course as it has ever
been my good fortune to play over.' More praise was
to follow. In 1927 Dr. Alister Mackenzie was invited
to make a number of adjustments to the links. On completion
he remarked, 'Lahinch will make the finest and most
popular course that I, or I believe anyone else, ever
constructed.' Not perhaps the most modest statement
ever made, but coming from a man who would very shortly
design Cypress Point on the Monterey Peninsula and later
help to create the legendary Augusta, it can hardly
be taken lightly.
In fact, Mackenzie was not too wide of the mark. Lahinch
Golf Club has undoubtedly one of the world's great classic
links. It has all the ingredients of greatness: a glorious
setting, a rich history, superb natural terrain and,
where man has 'intervened', it has been through the
hand of an outstanding architect. It also has a pair
of notorious blind holes, a ruined castle and goats
that roam freely on the dunes. Welcome to Lahinch. Savour
the experience.

Ballyconneely Connemara Championship Golf
Links is an exhilarating golfing experience.
This awesomely picturesque 72 par course with breathtaking
views of the Atlantic Ocean was designed by Eddie Hackett
and measures over 7,000 yards. Wind and rainbows are
the specialty of the house at this 27 hole course which
was started in 1973.
Quotes
“The course is amongst the most beautiful
- and testing - in Ireland. Achieving the par of 72
at Connemara is a considerable achievement even for
the best of golfers.”
Golf Monthly, February
2004
“A true Championship Links Course...The elevated
greens on the back nine are spectacular.”
Tom Watson
“If there were a course like this on the
west coast of England it would surely host the British
Open.”

and BBC commentator |

Gort Golf Club,
Designed by Ryder Cup star, Christy O' Connor Junior,
and officially opened in August 1996, Gort Golf Club is
an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course, set in 160 acres
of picturesque parkland on the edge of the world famous
Burren and within 200 yards of the historic monastic settlement
of Kilmacduagh.
Christy Jnr., himself was particularly excited by the
new course at Gort, where he regards, the four Par 3's
as among the best on offer at any course in Ireland. His
equally famous uncle, Christy Senior and his good friends
Eamonn Darcy and Des Smyth were loud in their praise of
both the course and the club house.
"
Having designed many Golf Courses, in Ireland and abroad,
this project took me to one of the most beautiful settings
in Ireland, nestled by the famous Burren and overlooking
Coole Park, the home place of Lady Gregory. I started
to construct what I believe will be a very fine 18 Hole
Golf Course, carved through the Burren stone and natural
waterways.
I truly hope you will enjoy playing this challenging Golf
Course as much as I enjoyed designing it. "

| Lake,
River and Sea fishing St. Clerans Manor House
is the ideal location for all fishing enthusiasts.
When it comes to fishing, Ireland’s West has
it all, from the promising waters of a remote inland
lake, to the thrill of deep sea fishing.
The great Western lakes of Galway and Mayo are recognised
as the greatest wild brown trout fisheries in the world,
while Lough Corrib in Galway is a mecca for game fishermen
and is famous for its exciting Mayfly season.
The rivers of Ireland’s West offer everything
from big salmon to wild browns and, in Roscommon and
Galway East, some of the best coarse fish stocks in
Ireland. Shore fishing from rock, pier or beach is second
to none, and deep sea fishing around the Galway and
Mayo coasts is nothing short of spectacular.
