| Course Description: |
Edenderry Golf Club has been in existence since
1910 having moved from several locations to its present location where Eddie
Hackett designed a magnificent golf course built on the natural peat that is
synonymous with this part of the country. Eddie used the natural terrain to
create a superb golf course that is playable all year round. The course is particularly
long at 5,899 metres but this is, compensated for by being a Par 73. There are
four Par-3 at Edenderry each of which has its own challenge. The course has
an abundance of mature trees and strategically placed bunkers making it a challenging,
but fair test of golf for the experienced and beginner alike. Edenderry Golf Club has recently completed
its state-of-the-art clubhouse, where the visitor and members alike can relax
and enjoy the memory of a fine days golf.

| Club History |
Instituted 1910, affiliated 1928. The Irish Field, 22nd October, 1910 reports
"The Hon. Secretary for the new golf club at Edenderry, in Kings County,
is a Mr. A. J. Roche and he informs us that the course will be open for play
on 1st November. The course is over 2,400 yd's in length. Among the officials
are Mr. T. O. K. White, Captain, Mr. R. G. Brown Treasurer. The fees are low
and the club should have good support in the district". In 1916, the club was known as Edenderry and
District Golf Club. It was located in various areas at Carrick and before that
at The Derries. A magnificent new clubhouse has recently been opened.
