Buncrana Golf Club

Records would show that golf has been played at the Buncrana Golf Club since 1890 by the then British Landowner. In 1944 the property was put in the trust of the Buncrana Municipal Golf Committee for the purpose of making golf facilities available to the local community.

Over the years the club has gone through various transitions with the development of a new clubhouse and most impressively the addition of 2 new holes taking the par of the course up from a 62 to a 66.

The club also boasts the longest par 5 along the “Wild Atlantic Way” and at 596 yards this hole is a challenge for any golfer.

In 1995 the name of the club was changed to the Buncrana Golf Club and the members / committee are the owners of the club and responsible for the upkeep.

The committee are in the process of researching the history of the golf course and history would show that golf was first played in the early 1800’s, which would make the club the oldest 9-hole links golf club in Ireland.
