Warrenpoint Golf Club
The club is very proud of its record in producing great amateur golfers over the
years as well as titles. 18 All-Ireland titles have been won by Warrenpoint Golf
Club since 1981.
A number of club members have represented
Ireland & Great Britain in the Walker Cup and Curtis
Cup teams. Ronan Rafferty, who is now a golf
commentator and analyst, was a Dunhill Cup
winner and played in the Ryder Cup.
This attractive parkland course is set in part of the
luxurious Hall Estate, home to Narrow Water
Castle- the inspiration for the club badge. The
clubhouse enjoys views of the Cooley Mountains of
County Louth and the estuary of Carlingford Lough.
Over 6,000 yards, this course demands a high
degree of accuracy and will test the golfer’s

shot-making capabilities. The par-4 seventh
‘Slieve Foy’ is regarded as the signature hole,
requiring a long high tee shot to get over the fir
plantation. Two mature beech trees guard the
approach to the well protected green. Extremely
tight driving down a corridor of trees on the 12th
and a green with danger all round on the 13th are
great tests for even the most skilled.
As well as gaining titles, Warrenpoint GC has played
host to the Irish Professional Championship and a
Ladies European Tour.
