Course Description

Course Description:

Gweedore Golf Club is an unique and picturesque 9-hole links located deep in the hearth of the Donegal Gaeltacht, home of the Irish musicians Clannad. Designed by Fr. Danny Molloy and been in existence since 1923 this little gem measuring 6,202 yards with a Par of 71 and a standard scratch of, 69 off the men's tees for 18-holes. The ladies, plays 5,387 yards with a similar Par and standard scratch as the men's. Gweedore may look easy when fires surveyed, but by its very nature it is cruelly deceptive, due to its layout, which makes it tight and difficult to post a score. This can be born out by looking at the course record, which stands at 68 shot by Mark McBride.

The clubhouse is charming and provides full catering in the summer months if you speak a little Irish the members will be only too happy to converse with you in their native language. If you don't then just to sit at the bar and listen to them is a pleasure. The views from Gweedore are stunning with some of the holes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and all around is natures, beauty. A Cead Mile Failte is extended to every visitor who takes the time to visit this club.
