History of East Clare

In the early years of the 20th century there was an active golf course in Killaloe and the "golfhouse" was used during the annual Killaloe races. The club went into decline and it was not until 1988 when the Derg Golf Society was formed and golf was revived in the area. By 1991 they had identified land at Coolreagh, owned by the Boland family. Michael Hogan, John Joyce, T. J. McNamara and Tom Murray were appointed to negotiate the purchase of the lands.
Having formed the Bodyke Castletown Trust Ltd. they set about raising half a million, under the chairmanship of John Joyce. By 1993 the club had received G.U.I. status and eight of the first nine permanent holes had been completed. The Curtin land was purchased in 1996 and the club now had 150 acres to complete the 18-holes. Under the guidance of Charles Stuart, with the assistance of Martin Mason and Michael Fahy the championship 18-hole course was completed and opened in 1997. The clubhouse was commenced in November 2000 and completed in July 2001. A feature of the design is the incorporation of the original stonewalls of the old kitchen garden in the development.
