Tourist Sauce (Ireland): Episode 9, County Sligo Golf Club
County Sligo (or Rosses Point) Golf Club was one of the most handsome stops of the trip. An elegant, sprawling Harry Colt design that feels almost more Scottish than Irish, it was Part 1 of the final day of our trip.

County Sligo Golf Club, Championship Course

A centenarian with all the dignity and maturity of age, this is one of Ireland’s great championship links. The course is one of golf’s great challenges and the level of difficulty varies with the diverse weather conditions experienced. The course was redesigned by the famous golf architect Harry S. Colt in 1927 and continuous improvements have been made over the years to make the County Sligo course, in the words of the great Peter Alliss:
“A tremendous test for the highest quality player and great fun for the modest competitor, Rosses Point stands at the very top of the list of Irish courses”.
The spectacular scenery of mountain, ocean and countryside which surrounds this classic links has been immortalised in the poetry of William Butler Yeats.
The course is currently ranked in the top 10 list of Irish Golf courses and features in the top 50 in Great Britain & Ireland and was honoured to be chosen as the 2011 venue for the SENIOR & JUNIOR INTERPROVINCIALS, the HOME INTERNATIONALS and the CARR MARA TROPHY.
The club is the home of the famous West of Ireland Open amateur championship played every Easter since 1923 and has hosted many other prestigious events including the Home Internationals, the Irish Close and the Irish Professional Matchplay Championship. Previous winners of the West include Joe Carr, Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry.
County Sligo Golf Trips Ireland - Hidden Links Golf
County Sligo Golf Club in Rosses Point Ireland, designed by Harry S. Colt in 1927, is a course that should automatically be mentioned in the same breath as the other great, old, and historic Irish golf courses. More commonly referred to as Rosses Point, set right in the heart of Yeats Country, County Sligo Golf Club combines spectacular, challenging golf with playability for the average golfer, and if not for its location in the northwest, away from the other famous links, County Sligo Golf Club might well be regarded as one of Ireland’s top 3 golf courses.

County Sligo
Sligo is seriously under rated as a tourist destination. It certainly helped that we had some fantastic weather during our stay but the same could be said for anywhere in Ireland. And even as we walked the beautiful Gortarowey Forest Park Loop in the rain on our last day, majestic Benbulben still stole our hearts.

County Sligo Golf Club | Hole 2
The inaugural West of Ireland Amateur Open Championship was held in August 1923. The first winner, from a field of 42 competitors was Larry Vernon who was home from South Africa on holidays. J Lindsay Crabbe, affectionately known as Bonzo, a member of Foxrock G.C. was the second winner in 1924, the year he also won the South of Ireland.
In 1931, due to the County Sligo club hosting the Irish Ladies Championship, the West was moved to its now traditional Easter spot.
In earlier years, the championship was decided over 36 holes and was dominated by two of the greats of Irish Amateur golf – Joe Carr from Sutton and Co. Sligo’s own Cecil Ewing (left). Between them they contested in the final on 24 occasions, with Carr winning 12 titles to Ewing’s 10.
Joe Carr’s son Roddy, also won the event in 1970. John Burke from Lahinch had the distiction of winning on 6 occasions, while in more recent times Garth McGimpsey (Walker Cup player and Captain) won the event on 4 occasions.
A historic final took place in 1979 between David Long (Shandon Park) and Arthur Pierse (Tipperary) when Long who was four down with six to play levelled the match by the 18th and proceeded to win the Championship on the 26th hole.
The ‘West’ is now the first Major competition on the amateur golfing calendar and is the traditional start of the competitive season for leading amateur golfers.
Today, the event is decided following 36 holes of qualifying strokeplay, with the top 64 players going head to head over six rounds of matchplay with the champion emerging after five days of golf.
The field at Rosses Point is nowadays packed with young potential starlets who dream of making it big in the professional ranks, many of whom view these championships as a stopping-off point en route to stardom and riches.
