Carrick-on-Shannon Golf Club

has expanded from a nine-hole course to an eighteen-hole course.

The quest for a new acreage began in the mid 1990's .The existing nine holes were constructed on land given to the club by Major Kirkwood, who lived in Woodbrook House.

From the highest point, the view is close to breathtaking.

The Boyle River and Drumharlow Lake - integral parts of the Shannon water system - touch the land that is being moulded into the new golf holes, and there are also views of the Arigna mountains.

Course Details
Holes: 18
Yardage: 5787
Par: 70

The existing nine holes are set in mature parkland and under the revised layout will constitute the first five holes and last four holes of the new course. The location of the new nine holes is magnificent. This golfing land winding its way to the water edged through wetland and over hillocks that give immediate definition and charm to the proposed layout.
