Located just over an hour from
Dublin, Glasson is blessed with
a stunning Lakeside setting magnificent views over Lough Ree
with spectacular scenery from
every hole on the Golf Course.
With a superb 65 Bedroom on-site, the Four
Star Hotel Glasson is ideally placed as a ‘stopover’ for the Golfer travelling across the
Country or for anyone looking for a short break
Golfing destination, close to Dublin.
Glasson opened up in 1993 and was designed
by Irish golfer and Ryder Cup Player, Christy
O’Connor Junior. O’Connor, who persuaded
farmer Tom Reid to develop the course
described it as “one of the most scenic pieces
of land I’ve ever seen in my life” - with the first
nine holes overlooking Lough Ree and the
second nine Killinure Bay. “There is nothing
I’ve seen that comes close”.
It is a spectacular Parkland Course with
over, 7,200 yards, par 73, with holes that will
challenge and excite all levels of golfers. The
signature hole is the 15th with Tee Box and
Green set in the Water - one of the most
photographed holes in Irish Golf.
Glasson’s quality was recognised by the IGTOA
(Ireland Golf Tour Operator Association) when
it was awarded the prestigious ‘2011 IGTOA
Golf Resort of the Year’ title.
The walk from the friendly pro shop at
Glasson Country House Hotel & Golf Club to
the first tee takes about 30 seconds. But it’s
a 30 seconds that you will not forget. The
view includes the ‘back 6’ holes looking out
to Killinure Bay, which is part of Lough Ree,
sets you up for a day of spectacular golf in a
stunning setting.
