Course Description:
The Christy O'Connor Golf Club originated out of Hollystown Golf Club but relocated to its present address at Silloge Golf Course, for reasons I'm not sure of. Silloge is an, municipal course that has become the spiritual home for this bunch of intrepid golfers. The reason for the formation of the club, was simply the price of joining a golf club in the Grater Dublin Area became prohibitive for the ordinary golfer.
So the Christy O'Connor Club was born with Christy O'Connor "Himself" as President and his lovely wife Mary as Lady President. The course measures 5,905 metres with a Par 70 and a standard scratch of 69 off the white stakes. The ladies course is somewhat shorter at 4,954 with a similar Par and standard scratch as the men's course. The club has a functional clubhouse with snacks available.
