Course Description
.
Tandragee Golf Club is a formidable yet picturesque 18-hole parkland course, set in the beautiful County Armagh countryside in Northern Ireland. Few courses in Northern Ireland present the golfers with such beautiful scenery and fine views. Parts of the course look over the ancient Tandragee Castle and on many holes golfers can admire the woodlands astride the fast flowing Cusher.

Young and mature trees line the fairways and two ponds, are often visited by golfers and non-golfers alike. If the golf is not good, consolation can be found in the views of the Sperrin and Mourne Mountains around the back nine. Slieve Croob can be seen standing proudly apart from the Mourne’s and Slieve Croob is clearly visible to the south
