The County Sligo Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the great championship links courses, ideal place for amazing golf holidays in Ireland. It is located in the picturesque seaside village of Rosses Point just 8km from Sligo and known locally as “The Point”. Originally founded in 1894 as a 9 Hole course, it is now a modern 27 hole complex with spacious clubhouse and up to date facilities.

The course is one of golf’s great challenges and the level of difficulty varies with the diverse weather conditions experienced. The course was redesigned by the famous golf architect Harry S. Colt in 1927 and continuous improvements have been made over the years to make the County Sligo course even more challenging for golf holidays in Ireland.

The course is currently ranked in the top 10 list of Irish Golf courses and features in the top 50 in Great Britain & Ireland and was honoured to be chosen as the 2011 venue for the Senior & Junior Interprovincials, the Home Internationals and the Carr Mara Trophy.

The club is the home of the famous West of Ireland Open amateur championship played every Easter since 1923 and has hosted many other prestigious events including the Home Internationals, the Irish Close and the Irish Professional Matchplay Championship.
