Golf

Our picturesque 9-hole, 2996 yard, par 35 parkland course is perfect for golfers of all abilities to hone their skills. The legendary Irish golfer, Christy O'Connor Senior started his illustrious career here in 1947 as our professional before going on to participate in 10 Ryder Cups. Green fees are complimentary to hotel residents and we provide the latest Titleist clubs on request.

The course

The course, the original deer park of the estate, was designed by the renowned Irish golf architect Eddie Hackett and imaginatively integrates a wide variety of natural features to create charming par 3s, exciting par 4s and a formidable par 5. Advance bookings are highly recommended.

Ashford Castle is also surrounded by some of the finest Links Golf Courses in the world, including Connemara, Carne, Enniscrone and Sligo. The hotel is ideally located to reach other noteworthy courses such as Ballinrobe, Castlebar and Westport.
