Founded in 1892, Athlone Golf Club has hosted many big events over the years and you don't have to wait long to discover why. It's a fabulous test of golf from start to finish and even the most accomplished of players will be tested by the tree-lined holes. And, if you like to judge a course by its short holes, then you won't be disappointed here as they are crackers. Another thing which this golf course has going for it is the stunning scenery, with views of fabulous Lough Ree being enjoyed from both the course itself and also the clubhouse.
