Letterkenny Golf Club is located on the banks of Lough Swilly in Co Donegal. The Club was founded in 1913.

History

Golf began in the town many years before 1913 on rough ground near the Ramelton Road. Golfing facilities later moved to a 47 acre course at Crievesmith in 1913 where the club was formed. Crievesmith was sold in 1965 for £3000 and the club moved to Barnhill and remain there to this day.

When the club moved to Barnhill an old farmhouse located on the land was used as the clubhouse. This farmhouse was extended in 1967 before a state-of-the-art 10000 sq.ft. clubhouse was opened in 1999 with a restaurant and conference facilities. The current course has 18 holes and has elegant views of Lough Swilly.
In 1999 the club hosted the Donegal Irish Ladies Open

Two Million Euro Redevelopment

On Saturday 28 July 2007 a new look course was officially opened. The new course was designed by one of golf's leading architects Declan Brannigan and finally addresses the drainage problem which the course has had for many years.

Today Letterkenny Golf Club is a beautiful 18 hole, 6239 yards, Par 70 Parkland Championship course. The course takes advantage of natural variances of elevation with four holes wrapped around the banks of Lough Swilly and the 'top seven' holes affording the golfer a panoramic view of the Lough-side and the picturesque garland hills and wooded countryside. Nestled within 147 acres of tranquil bliss the golfer's game will be shared with no-one but nature and its splendid beauty.  Special golfing packages available on request.
