The Club has approximately 300 members with a split of approx 50/50 between Local and Distance Members.

The Course is a 9 hole parkland course, on which accuracy is essential. No, not because of bunkers, but because of strategically placed Trees. Trees play a major part on every hole, or for the better players trees play no part at all! There are alternate tees on six of the back nine holes, so there is little chance to get complacent. Par for the 18 holes is 70, course length 5339 metres for men and 4663 metres for ladies and SS for men is 67 and for ladies 68. The course is situated some 3 miles outside Ballaghaderreen and is well sign-posted from the town.
