Local Courses
Ballinamore Golf Club
Ballinamore Golf Club is located just a short drive away on the outskirts of Ballinamore, along the Shannon Erne Waterway. The course itself is a beautiful 9 hole parkland course set in rolling Co. Leitrim farmland, providing panoramic views of Sliabh an Iarainn (Iron Mountain). The course is bordered on three sides by the Ballinamore – Ballyconnell Canal and the steady passage of boats along the canal makes the course a pleasure to play. The Club was founded in 1934 and in 1996 Dr. Arthur Spring re-designed the course which was officially opened on June 26th 2004. It has established itself as one of the finest 9 hole golf courses in the region.
Green fees start at €20 per day and there are reductions available for societies and groups of more than 10 people.

Strandhill Golf Club
Strandhill Golf Club is located a short drive away in the picturesque village of Strandhill, Sligo. With Knocknarea Mountain and Queen Maeve’s Cairn as a backdrop and stunning panoramic views of Sligo Bay and the Benbulben Mountain Range, this 18 hole links style golf course, founded in 1931, provides a challenge to both the beginner and experienced golfer alike.
The present 18-hole course was opened in 1973 and a new, modern clubhouse was unveiled in 1997.

Castle Dargan Golf Club
Located just 30 minutes away on the outskirts of the village of Ballygawley, Co. Sligo, Castle Dargan Golf Course is a Darren Clarke designed, 18 hole parkland course. Making the most of the natural ebb and flow of the Sligo estates grounds, Darren has woven eighteen beautiful golf holes through majestic trees, natural lakes, burns and around the ancient stone walls and ruins which dominate this romantic landscape while embracing the land rather than trying to impose his design ideas upon it. Castle Dargan provides a calming but eerie presence on the horizon which adds to the soulful atmosphere of the resort that has everything you could ask for.
Golf at Castle Dargan is available to members and visitors alike and will appeal to golfers of all abilities while providing a new golfing experience in the North West of Ireland.
