| Athenry Athenry
Golf Club located mid way between Athenry and Oranmore at the townland
of Palmerstown.
Athenry Golf Club is a mixture of parkland and heath land built on a limestone
base against the backdrop of a large forest giving excellent drainage
and remaining playable all year round. Celebrating its centenary in 2002
this pleasant test of Golf on the outskirts of Galway City offers a challenge
for golfers of all standards on a course which is uncrowded mid-week.
Extended to 18 holes in 1991 under the guidance of renowned architect
Eddie Hackett and further improvements in recent years by Eddie Connaughton
have led to the Club hosting recent Provincial and National championships.
Modern clubhouse with a friendly atmosphere gives excellent views of much
of the course and adjoining famous "Fields of Athenry".
