In 1938 the Club invited James Braid, a 5 times British Open winner, to visit Tullamore and recommend what changes should be undertaken. The course was again upgraded in 1996 by Patrick Merrigan to combine the best of its original design with new tees, bunkers, drainage, irrigation and 5,000 trees making it a challenging and enjoyable course to play for golfers in all categories. Tullamore Golf Club offers a classic parkland course with many picturesque views, which are enhanced by clusters of mature oak, beech and chestnut trees with the Slieve Bloom Mountains in the background. It is rated among the top-25 parkland courses in Ireland. Situated only an hour from Dublin or Galway (only 10km off the M6), Tullamore Golf Club offers the most attractive green fees in the Midlands and is delighted to welcome visitors whether as individuals, small groups or societies. Online bookings are available through our website. www.tullamoregolfclub.ie Brookfield, Tullamore, Co. Offaly Tel: +353 (0)57 9321439 | Email: [email protected]
