Limerick Golf Club is located at Ballyclough, on the southern outskirts of Limerick City and is one of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland, having been founded in the same year as the Golfing Union of Ireland, 1891. The club boasts a mature parkland course, with a number of holes designed by Dr. Alister McKenzie, architect of Lahinch and Augusta National, and others by John D. Harris. The current layout measures 6500 yards in length and has a par of 72. Limerick has one of the largest memberships in the country with over 1300 members.
Limerick Golf Club has a proud tradition in competitive golf in Ireland, having won eleven national titles, and was the first Irish club to win a European title at senior level. The most recent was the Irish Senior Cup in 2002. It has played host to many championships over the years, not least an exhibition match in the 1930s which included the legendary Walter Hagen and John Burke.
