Things To Do & See During Your Stay

Loughrea Golf Club

Loughrea Golf Club is long recognised as one of the finest Parkland courses in the country. We have a proud tradition of providing a warm welcome to all our visitors and societies. We offer a challenging course - always in excellent condition, and an opportunity to socalise with our members in our friendly lounge and restaurant. The members and committees have continued to improve the length, layout and conditioning of their course over the years and recently hosted many GUI events including the Connacht Junior Cup provincial qualifiers and the Connacht Cups and Shields Finals in 2011. It was on the back of these GUI events that the Connacht Branch’s Championship Committee voted the golf course the ‘best presented course in Connacht of 2011’ and presented an award to Captain Pat Hynes at the Delegates meeting in Roscommon.
