About Rathsallagh Golf & Country Club

Rathsallagh Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole parkland course near Dunlavin in County Wicklow. The course first opened in 1994 and was designed by Peter McEvoy and Christy O'Connor Jnr. Its routing crosses rolling ground framed by mature woodland, with burns, ditches and ponds incorporated into the layout and greens originally built to USGA specification.

After a period of closure, Rathsallagh reopened in June 2016 following 18 months of restoration work under new ownership. A further reconfiguration followed in September 2017: play was reorganised to start and finish near the clubhouse, the former 10th became the opening hole, and a new par-three was constructed in woodland between the old first and second holes. Practice and clubhouse facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop and dining/function rooms.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Peter McEvoy and Christy O'Connor Jnr, the course originally opened in 1994. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Pro Shop, Function & Dining Rooms.

Origins

The course was created on rolling parkland near Dunlavin and first opened in 1994. Peter McEvoy and Christy O'Connor Jnr were responsible for the design, using the mature woodland and existing watercourses as major elements of the routing.

Did You Know?
The former 10th hole became the opening hole when the course was rerouted in 2017.

Design Philosophy

The routing uses the site's natural changes in elevation, mature trees and existing burns, ditches and ponds. The club states that the greens were constructed to USGA specification, while strategically placed bunkering is another recurring feature.

Development

Following a period of closure, Rathsallagh reopened in June 2016 after approximately 18 months of restoration and investment under new ownership. In September 2017 the routing was substantially reorganised so rounds would begin and finish near the clubhouse. The old 10th became the new first, and a new par-three was constructed in woodland between the former first and second holes.

Recognition

The club reports recognition from Irish Golfer Magazine and Irish course-ranking publications, including a place among Ireland's leading parkland courses.

Today

Rathsallagh operates as an 18-hole golf club with a driving range, putting green, pro shop and clubhouse dining/function facilities.
