Modern Times

The modern era of the Island Golf Club was shaped in 1952 when the Syndicate of the day handed over their entire interest in the Club to the existing annual ticket holders who were the new members.

Since then Golfing at The Island Golf Club has progressed, through entering inter club competitions, building up the membership, redesign of the course and the continuous improvement of facilities on the course and in the clubhouse.  The Golf Club has hosted the Irish Ladies Close Championship(1990), the Irish Close Championship(1997) and the Irish P.G.A. tournament for top professionals(1999).

Other national competitions, provincial and inter provincial competitions for both men and ladies have been played here.  All who have taken part have been generous in their praise for the quality of the links, the organisation and the generosity and cooperation of the membership.
