Membership offer

-

Doneraile Golf Club is open for membership. All of us who play know that golf offers so much more. Not only is it a hobby for life, it offers a social outlet as well as a healthy lifestyle option.

Membership of a golf club is a great way to be part of the local community and network with other people from the area. A chance to meet like-minded people, forming lifelong friendship­s. We offer a wide variety of competitio­ns, both at weekends and midweek.

Being a member gives you the opportunit­y to play when you like and generally as often as you like. For further informatio­n please contact 022-24137. We would be delighted to discuss our membership options with you.

GREEN FEES

Doneraile Golf Club is open for green fees with a time sheet in operation. We would be delighted to welcome visitors to our beautiful 9-hole course. Our new tee boxes and bunker layout are open. This has given Doneraile Golf Course a new dimension and challenge for all golfers in this idyllic 9-hole parkland course. Doneraile Golf Club is adjacent to Doneraile Park and Annesgrove Gardens are located 10kms away.

Our facilities are excellent with a buggy to hire at a very competitiv­e price. Pull trolleys are also available to hire. Our green fees include the use of our practice, chipping and putting facilities. Our golf club has a wonderful catering service to enhance your overall visit to our club. You can be assured of a warm welcome to Doneraile.

To reserve a tee time please call 022-24137.

CARE OF THE COURSE

All members and visitors have a role to play in ensuring our course remains in pristine condition. To keep our greens in excellent condition, please repair all pitch marks. Every chip, pitch, and full shot has the potential to leave a mark on the surface of a green, especially in soft wet conditions. You should repair any pitch marks that you see, even those that belong to the groups in front if they failed to repair them. Please replace divots and rake bunkers.

Our greenkeepi­ng team, Seamus, Pius and John, take great pride in preparing a first class course and it would be very much appreciate­d if all players, both members and visitors, would take care to maintain it to the highest standard.
