Mountrath Golf Club

Not far from the picturesque Slieve Bloom Mountains lies the golf facilities at the Mountrath Golf Club. The traditional club was founded in 1929 and has an intermediately-difficult, very hilly parkland course. The golf complex is only a kilometer from Mountrath and offers a varied game for both beginning and experienced golfers. The 18-hole course was designed by the renowned golf course architect Peter McEvoy. He harmoniously integrated the course into the hilly natural surroundings. The greens are perfectly maintained and well-guarded by bunkers and water hazards. The golf course is well-suited for long hitters and offers golfers the opportunity to test their pitching, putting, and chipping skills. A driving range is available to train and warm up. Those interested can book individual or group lessons with professionals; a Pro Shop offers rental equipment. The atmosphere at the Mountrath Golf Club is friendly and open. Visitors enjoy socializing at the Grove Restaurant in the bar and newly-built club house. The Mountrath Golf Club is located in County Laois in Knockanina and can be reached by car via the M7.
