The golf course associated with The Hawthorn by Galway Bay is the established Galway Bay Golf layout on the Renville Peninsula at Oranmore. It is an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Christy O'Connor Jr. and plays to approximately 7,300 yards from the back tees; Leading Hotels of the World currently specifies 7,308 yards for men and 5,605 yards for women.
The course occupies exposed coastal ground overlooking Galway Bay, and the design uses rolling terrain and large green complexes rather than being a conventional inland parkland course. The golf operation is open to hotel guests, members and outside players, although The Hawthorn advertises guaranteed tee times specifically for residents. Facilities include a driving range, practice green, pro shop, club rental, golf carts, caddies and instruction.
