Origins

The club's own centenary research acknowledges uncertainty around its precise beginning. A club at Enniscorthy appears in the Golfing Annual for 1906-07, and the Golfing Union of Ireland accepted its affiliation application in January 1908. In 1913, after land near the town was secured, W.

C. Pickman was asked to prepare a new layout.

Did You Know?
The complete 18-hole course was played for the first time on 28 May 1989.

Development

The club purchased its land in 1970 and embarked on course improvements. In 1982 a subcommittee considered additional land and Eddie Hackett advised that it could support seven new holes, with another two created on the existing course. Construction proceeded under Jim Whitney and later Ted Morrissey, and the complete 18 holes were first played on 28 May 1989.

Hackett and Pat Ruddy subsequently oversaw changes during the 1990s. Further land was acquired in the 2000s, allowing Jeff Howes to plan two new holes completed during the centenary period.

Today

The resulting course is a mature 18-hole parkland layout with four principal tee options. The club accepts visitors and societies and operates practice facilities, a professional shop and clubhouse food and beverage facilities.
