Summary: Offering panaromic views of Clew Bay and its many islands, and nestling in the shadow of Croagh Patrick, Westport Golf Course will provide a memorable game for all visitors. The sea-mists, Atlantic breeze and stone-walled boundaries make this a magical place. The distinguished course designer, Fred Hawtree, also responsible for designing one of the St. Andrews courses, succeeded here in creating a magnificent parkland course. The formidable 15th hole has been referred to as having 'the most intimidating tee shot in Irish golf'. The Irish PGA Championship was staged here in 2002. |
