Golf club rejects offer to swap lands for new course

LIMERICK Golf Club has rejected an approach from a major developer to acquire their lands at Ballyclough in exchange for a new course.

Some members claimed the proposed deal would yield as much as €30,000 to each member from a €35 million payment. The club captain denies any money was offered.

Chieftain Construction recently offered to construct a new course and clubhouse a few miles away at Lemonfield, Crecora, in return for the Ballyclough lands.
