Rathsallagh Golf Club

Rathsallagh Golf Club reopened in June 2016 having been brought back to its previous splendour after 18 months of hard work and investment under new ownership. The magnificent course, which first opened in 1995, was designed by Peter McEvoy and the late Christy O’Connor Jnr. It sits in beautiful parkland near Dunlavin Co Wicklow with mature woodland lining all the fairways. Rathsallagh is a golf course built to championship standard, routed over rolling terrain and with a number of burns, ditches and ponds that bring water into play on several holes. Hundreds of mature trees flank the fairways. The bunkers are always challenging – such is the brilliance of its layout it is often described as offering some of the best bunkers in Ireland both in terms of construction and intelligent placement. The condition of the course is almost second to none, the greens were built to the highest USGA specification. The course is beautifully maintained by Course Superintendent Barry Kavanagh and his team. Use of the landscape is a key feature of Rathsallagh and this is truly apparent as the golfer ambles through the course. The 18th hole is just a few steps to reach the sanctuary of the clubhouse veranda. A perfect place to enjoy an after-golf drink and meal, with spectacular views of the course and rolling Wicklow landscape.
