Carrick on Shannon Golf Club

Carrick on Shannon Golf Club sits on the outskirts of Carrick-on-Shannon — Ireland's cruising capital — along the banks of the River Shannon in County Roscommon. The 18-hole parkland course is built to USGA specifications and offers a genuine variety of scenery across its two distinct sections. The original nine holes occupy mature parkland and form the opening five and closing four holes of the round. The newer nine were developed on land that sweeps down to Drumharlow Lake and the Boyle River, with 12 acres of marshland preserved and woven into the design. The result is a course that rewards accurate play, particularly when carrying the marshland areas. Standout holes include the 8th, where the tee box is surrounded by water and demands a carry over the Boyle River. The 13th is a par 3 of around 200 metres with a reputation that is already growing in Irish golf circles. Whether visiting for a casual fourball, a society day, or a corporate outing, the course offers a well-rounded and memorable test of parkland golf.
