Athy Golf Club in County Kildare was formed in 1906. It was originally a 9-hole course, but Athy was some years later extended to an 18-hole parkland course. Some major development work has been carried out on the course to create a tougher test of golf.
Athy Golf Club in County Kildare, teeing grounds on the 11th hole have been changed and a new par 5 has been built where the third shot is to a green protected by a lake. New trees were planted and 33 bunkers built. The course is now only marginally longer but it was decided that a premium be put on accuracy and not length.
Despite all these changes the course is still considered to be a fair test of golf and the club hopes you enjoy your visit to Athy Golf Club as much as they enjoy playing it as members.
