Our Course
Galway Bay was designed by local Ryder Cup legend and renowned course architect Christy O’Connor Jnr., who described it as the “jewel in his crown”. Our 18-hole championship course offers views of the wild Atlantic Ocean from every hole – but it isn’t just the scenery that’s breathtaking.
The par-72 layout stretches over 7,300 yards from the back tees, featuring rolling terrain, expansive and intricate green complexes, and immaculate conditioning throughout. Our iconic hawthorn trees will leave you in no doubt as to the prevailing wind, which travels uninterrupted across the Atlantic – ensuring a memorable challenge for golfers of all levels.
