Great Course.

Yesterday was a Golf Now day out for my son Ben and I. All I can say is, Oughterard is a gem. The course was in excellent condition for the amount of rain that we in the west of Ireland have endured over the last five or six weeks. The greens were excellent. I would ask the seniors outing(Tuesdays) to stop digging the ball out of the hole with their putters. It damages the hole rim.
The course is a fair test for expert to high handicapper. Oughterard should be proud of the facility they have created. I believe the club is fifty years open this year.....long may it prosper. May the next fifty years be as good for the club as the last.
A great course in great condition. Five stars is earned. I'm looking forward to playing it in summer.

Great Course

We've passed this course on many trips to Clifden and decided to play it this year. Unfortunately we picked the wrong day. According to the booking system the course was empty but I chose a hot deal only to find us stuck behind a Seniors competition. Sadly they were very slow and as we were a 2ball in a buggy it was not possible to get let though. Bit disappointed but the course was in excellent condition considering the weather. The wife was also a bit disappointed with the offerings in the clubhouse

Perfect Sunday Course

I don’t get out that often anymore, but if i get the time this is the first course I will check for a tee time. Relaxed atmosphere, very welcoming young lad at the desk. What a day on the course should be

Should have been told needed to drop in the rough

Can see the appeal of this course. Unfortunately when we booked we weren't told that if the ball landed in the fairway we needed to lift and drop in the rough due to course maintenance on the fairways.That was both disappointing and made play rather slow. Really feel that should have been flagged at time of booking.

Also there were only 14 holes open. In fairness we were offered the opportunity to play the 1st 4 again but again feel this is info we should have had at time of booking.

The staff were nice. Particularly in the clubhouse where we had a lovely meal after.

I'd probably give it one more try. The course seems nice with interesting holes and nice surroundings. Greens were decent for January

‘chairperson’

Everything about the round was great except for the ‘chairperson’ who ran out to my son and I on the first teebox thinking we were sneaking out asking me for our names. I was given some BS story that he was looking for some random person, extremely unprofessional.
I might add all of the other staff in Oughterard golf club are very friendly and helpful

The addition of the 2 extra par 5's since i last played this course have now made it a very enjoyable and golfer friendly course. Greens in excellent condition . Will most certainly be back.
