Gort Golf Club


Castlequarter, Gort, Co. Galway

Designed by Ryder Cup star Christy O'Connor Jr and officially opened in 1996, Gort is an 18-hole championship course set in 160 acres of picturesque parkland on the edge of the world famous Burren and within 200 yards of the historic monastic settlement of Kilmacduagh.

Christy Jr was particularly excited by the new course at Gort, where he regards the four short holes among the best on any course in Ireland.

His equally famous uncle, Christy Senior, and his good friends Eamonn Darcy and Des Smyth, were loud in their praise of the project.

Our Take

One of the most beautiful settings in Ireland, nestled by the famous Burren and overlooking Coole Park, the home place of Lady Gregory. The course is an inviting challenge, and a true and fair test for all golfers. The variety of holes on offer will amply reward the thinking golfer.
