County Sligo Golf Club
Rosses Point, County Sligo, Ireland
Voted No. 100 in the Golf Monthly/HSBC
Top 120 UK Course Rankings - November 2006
County Sligo Golf Club is situated at Rosses Point, a seaside village eight kilometres north west of Sligo town, and is one of the oldest and best known links courses in Ireland.
The links are set out on one of the most scenic locations - bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west; Benbulben dominates the view on the northern skyline and bears a striking resemblance to Cape Town's Table Mountain. To the east Glencar valley and the Dartary mountains with Lugnagall and Truskmore, while the southern vista is completed by Knocknarea topped by a large Cairn of stones reputed to be the grave of the 'Warrior Queen Meave of Connaught'.
Arriving at County Sligo golf club is a spiritual experience. The lovely clubhouse of the traditional links style houses a host of memorabilia of past tournaments - the annual West of Ireland Amateur Championship is played here every year and there have been several major international amateur tournaments.
County Sligo Golf Club is a great championship test that most club golfers will fail miserably! Those that play within their limits, keep the ball in play and accept bogeys gracefully at the more difficult holes will, however, be well rewarded.
