WELCOME TO RATHSALLAGH GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

Rathsallagh Golf Club re-opened in June 2016 having been brought back to its previous splendour after 18 months of hard work and investment under new ownership. The magnificent course, which first opened in 1994, was designed by Peter McEvoy and the late Christy O’Connor Jnr. It sits in beautiful parkland near Dunlavin Co Wicklow with mature woodland lining all the fairways.

Over the years it has challenged and delighted golfers of all abilities. In September 2017, the course was reconfigured so that play begins and ends in front of the clubhouse and a new Par 3 hole was built in the woods between the old 1st and 2nd holes bridging a small river. The old 10th hole (index 1) is now the opening hole – so the ‘wow factor’ is evident right from the very first shot. The re-routing occurs during the middle of the game and players will intertwine the ‘old’ back and front nines for a totally fresh experience.

Rathsallagh is a golf course built to championship standard, routed over rolling terrain and with a number of burns, ditches and ponds that bring water into play on several holes. Hundreds of mature trees flank the fairways. The bunkers are always challenging – such is the brilliance of its layout it is often described as offering some of the best bunkers in Ireland both in terms of construction and intelligent placement.  The condition of the course is almost second to none, the greens were built to the highest USGA specification. The course is beautifully maintained by Course Superintendent Shane Daniels and his team.

Use of the landscape is a key feature of Rathsallagh and this is truly apparent as the golfer ambles through the exciting newly reconfigured course layout. When golfers finish on the 18th hole, it is just a few steps to reach the sanctuary of the clubhouse veranda. A perfect place to enjoy an after-golf drink and meal, with spectacular views of the course and rolling Wicklow landscape.
