Point Golf Club
Welcome to Golf in Ireland by Irish Property World, your source for
information about all of the best properties in Ireland today!
The County Sligo Golf Club, better known in Ireland as Rosses Point,
lies literally in the shadow of the great Benbulbin Mountain. Ever
since its creation in 1894 by Colt & Allison, it has belonged
to the ranks of the best of Championship courses and every year, since
1923, it has been the scene of the Irish Amateur Championships.
From nearly every point there are breathtaking views of the mountains,
the sea and the almost endless hilly countryside surrounding the County
Sligo Course. The length of the course is 6,645 yards, and a round
of its 18 splendid holes is a memorable experience for anyone. It
extends along the cliffs overlooking the sea, and the fairways are
considered the most undulating in Ireland. The charm of this course
was immortalised by the poet W.B. Yeats who dedicated a poem to the
wonderful view from the 3rd tee (a par 5 over 500 yards in length).
However, the golfer should not become too enthralled by this beauty
as he will need every ounce of his concentration to overcome the very
difficult 'Greenland' (1st hole), 'Ewing's Profile' (7th), “'Cast
a Cold Eye' (9th), 'Mahon's Burn' (14th) and 'Christy's Farm' (18th),
if he wishes to be pleased with his performance at the end of the
round.
