Galway Bay Golf

You’ll find Galway Bay Golf in Renville, just outside Oranmore, a beautiful destination that embraces the ruggedly breath-taking coastline of Galway. At this Christy O’ Connor Jr.-designed course, you’ll enjoy amazing views of gorgeous Galway Bay, and you’ll swing into a challenging but enjoyable experience that is sure to put your golfing skills to the test.

In 2023, Galway Bay Golf underwent a beautiful refurbishment which saw its clubhouse, restaurant, and bar all expertly upgraded. These improvements greatly complemented the pre-existing 18-hole course, its fairways, and manicured greens. Plus, an events and conferencing space (ideal for corporate meetings as well as communion celebrations, birthdays, and family gatherings) known as the Bay View Suite was also added – offering spectacular views of the jaw-dropping surroundings.

The golfing experience here is truly incredible, and it’s easy to picture yourself teeing off against the backdrop of Galway Bay as you enjoy a well-deserved round. The course itself is exquisitely designed and features plenty of testing aspects, for beginners and experts alike. Conveniently, you can truly maximise your experience of Galway Bay Golf thanks to the encyclopaedic knowledge of Head PGA Professional Dara Ford who can guide you on your golfing journey with dedicated coaching sessions.

Afterwards, why not step into the visually striking 2 Iron Bar & Restaurant (named in honour of Christy O’ Connor Jr.’s famous winning shot at the 1989 Ryder Cup) to savour chef-crafted meals inspired by quality local produce, and you can pair your favourite meal with a delicious beverage of your choosing. Alternatively, grab a barista-made coffee and a freshly baked pastry from The Dock and get the caffeine boost you’ve been craving.

Galway Bay Golf offers a range of ways to enhance your golfing experience – the Trackman Room provides an indoor pursuit that lets you challenge yourself on virtual versions of some of the world’s most popular courses. Plus, the accommodating staff here regularly host open days, they welcome golf societies, and they offer membership to suit you, whether you’re a local or a frequent visitor from overseas.
