From Ballyhaunis to Youghal: Golf clubs spend big to stay ahead of the game

It was a busy 2022 for Irish golf clubs with demand for tee times high. Spurred on, clubs and resorts have invested heavily in their courses and facilities for this year

MAKEOVER: Druid's Glen Golf Club

Ballyhaunis

The 9-hole gem in Co Mayo saw the greenkeeping team install new irrigation for all its greens. Numerous non-native trees were also removed on the 1st and 2nd holes. The club also added new greenkeeping sheds. A new short game practice area (two chipping greens, practice green and bunkers, and artificial tees) designed by Ken Kearney and constructed by DAR Golf will open in the Spring.
