Club History

Ardfert is first listed in the "Golfing Annual" 1897-98 which says "There is an eighteen-hole course at Ardfert Abbey. Visitors are permitted in a most liberal fashion". Later, the same annual lists the course as a twelve-hole course. There is no record of golf at Ardfert after 1910. "Irish Life" documents the death of the owner, Mr. Lindsey Tolbot-Crosbie, on 12th December 1913. The club affiliated to the GUI in 1993.
