Courtown Golf Club
[Co. Wexford]
Courtown Golf Club is a picturesque and challenging golf course, located 5 km from the North Wexford town of Gorey. Founded in 1936, the golf course was upgraded to 18 holes in 1974. Although it's boundaries come within 100 metres of the sea, Courtown is actually a parkland course. Surrounded on three sides by forestry, the course itself boasts hundreds of mature trees. Every fairway is lined to reward the accurate golfer and punish the wayward. The course is a matured par 71, almost 6,000 metres in length. The four par 3s are a feature, particularly the 18th, where a water hazard and threatening out-of-bounds on the left have to be negotiated. For the big hitters, there are three par 5s, including the new dog-leg 9th, an imposing end to the front nine. The remaining par 4s include the 4th, the signature hole, revered both nationally and internationally. With it's panoramic views of the Irish Sea and the beautiful North Wexford coast, it provides a delightful distraction to many a bad round!
In the Clubhouse, take a load off and unwind in the comfortable and relaxed surroundings of the lounge and snug, where Bar food and snacks are available. The classically styled restaurant, serving locally sourced produce, caters for all tastes and budgets; from homemade brown bread & soup to the best the sea has to offer. The extensive wine list incorporates some of the finest old and new world wines available.
Courtown Golf Club provides ancilliary golfing services such as the availabiltiy of golf trolleys and buggies, a practice area, practice putting greens, and ladies and mens locker rooms. The Pro Shop, located near the 1st tee box, stocks a large variety of clothing and equipment from top quality brands.
