Club History
Rathdowney golf club was established in 1930 and was the brainchild of Fr. Dunphy who was a curate in the parish at that time. Fr. Dunphy collected a number of interested parties and they set about the task of getting a “golf links” underway. The first formal meeting of the club was held on the 24th of October 1930 in the Ossory Hotel (now Supervalu) Rathdowney.
Today the course is of a matured state with challenging holes and fairways. Ongoing investment in and development of the course adds new challenges each year, and the club is a unique location to play an enjoyable round of golf.
