The design, involved, the construction of 11 new holes and were completed on time for the centenary celebrations in 1992. Back in the 70’s, two members of Roscrea went into the record books when it was a 9 hole course. Dan Hogan played 204 holes in seventeen hours on the 4th August 1978, during which he carded 30 birdies, one eagle and only five double-bogeys. Before that Alfie Clarke played 157 holes in one day and the following year he surpassed himself by playing 201 holes.

Roscrea is renowned for its warm welcome to visiting golfers. My lasting memory of the hospitality extended at Roscrea was when returning from playing Ballybunion and Lahinch we called into the clubhouse on the off chance of getting out on a Sunday afternoon, the weekend competation was in full swing. However we were directed out on to the 12th tee box where we were informed there would be a gap in the timesheet. Hard to, believe but these things, happen in golf.

The following year, The "Irish Field" reported on 5th August "The Roscrea district is very wisely amalgamating the two existing private clubs and establishing a public club. The representative meeting called to discuss the matter decided on taking Derryvale as the site of the new course." The "Nenagh Guardian" on 17th November 1894, records; "An interclub match between Nenagh and Roscrea, which lists the Roscrea team as Powell, Smith, Bridge, Ely, Eaton and Perry." The "Irish Golfers" 1897 tells us "The links is at Golden Grove, one and a half miles Roscrea and there are nine-holes, the longest 420 yards and shortest 90 yards. The greenkeeper has a comfortable cottage, where there is room for members, and tea is provided". The President is given as W. P. H. Lloyd Vaughan, D. L., the Hon.. Secretary was J. Robin, J. P., Ballaghmore Castle, and the Treasurer was S. E. Smith.
