History of Connemara Isles

Founded 1995

The thatched seaside clubhouse is the ancestral home of the founders of the Connemara Isles Golf Club John, Tony and Cathal Lynch

Their great grandfather built the house in 1850 when he returned from America as one of the survivors of the ill-fated emigrant Famine ship the Brig St. John. The Brig St. John was wrecked on rocks near Boston Harbour in Cape Cod in October 1849, having only left Galway the previous month with 120 on board.
You will see ruins of pre-famine houses near the sixth green.

The sea around the golf course is famous for it natural oyster and scallop beds. During the summer you can enjoy the traditional boating festivals from Currach racing to Hooker racing. This area offers you a unique opportunity to experience the Conamara culture at its finest.
