Characteristics

Otway Golf Club was founded as far back as 1893 making it one of the oldest golf clubs in the Republic of Ireland. As the history books tell us the club was very difficult to get to and not an awful lot has changed. Although somewhat out of the way this little gem is well worth seeking out. A 9-hole Links located on the shores of Lough Swilly has stunning views of the majestic countryside with some challenging and memorable holes. The clubhouse is basic by today's standards but full catering facilities are available on request.

Open again

Otway Golf is open again. Contact details: otwaygolf1@gmail. com, +353749158181.
A quirky, intimate, entertaining, tricky little place with grandiose surroundings that I enjoyed a lot. ATTENTION: As is not uncommon in Ireland, several tracks cross, sometimes poorly visible. A fairway is played in both directions (lanes 7 and 8). Precise play, constant attention and good communication are prerequisites. This is a new experience for many players. Hence point deduction.

Unfortunately no longer in operation

Dear Golf Friends I played the easy but fun course with lots of beautiful views of the Donegal countryside on the way back to Rosapenna from Ballyliffin in Autumn 2016.
During my research for a new golf book, I had to learn that the club and course ceased operations in February 2019 after 130 years.
This is sad news for all those who like to look around off the beaten track and (like me) often come across worthwhile places. Even if these in terms of care, quality, us. cannot be compared to the famous courses like Royal County Down, Ballybunion or Portmarnock.
