Galway Bay Golf is a championship-standard 18-hole course set against the breathtaking backdrop of Galway Bay and the Wild Atlantic Way. Combining a contemporary design, immaculate fairways, and state-of-the-art facilities, we offer a golfing experience that is both memorable and unique—one of the West of Ireland’s finest. Whether you are teeing off for a casual round or a competitive match, our course provides a stunning, immersive experience at every hole.

Founded in 1993, Galway Bay Golf has grown from its origins into a premier golfing destination renowned across Ireland and beyond. Designed by Ireland’s own Christy O’Connor Jr., the course was created to harmonise with the natural contours of the coastline, making the most of dramatic headland views, rolling fairways, and the sparkling Atlantic waters. Over the years, our facilities and experiences have evolved, blending modern comforts with the legacy of O’Connor Jr.’s original vision, all while remaining faithful to the natural beauty of our surroundings.

At Galway Bay Golf, we believe that golf is about more than a game—it’s about connection, excellence, and respect for our environment. Our core values include:

Excellence in Experience: Every visit is crafted to be memorable, from championship conditions on the course to warm hospitality in our clubhouse.

Community & Inclusivity: We welcome golfers of all abilities and celebrate a vibrant membership and visitor community.

Integrity & Tradition: Honouring the course’s design and heritage while continuously improving our facilities.

The heart of Galway Bay Golf is our dedicated team, who share a passion for golf and a commitment to delivering exceptional service. From our knowledgeable golf professionals and friendly Pro Shop staff to our attentive clubhouse team, everyone plays a role in ensuring that each round, lesson, or event is seamless and enjoyable. Our goal is simple: to make every golfer feel welcome, supported, and inspired.

Giving back is at the core of our philosophy. Galway Bay Golf regularly hosts Charity Golf Classics and other events, supporting causes that matter to our community. Between 2022 and 2023, we proudly raised over €45,000 for Galway Hospice and Croí, and we continue to champion charitable initiatives that make a meaningful difference.

Sustainability is woven into everything we do, ensuring that Galway Bay Golf remains as beautiful and vibrant for future generations as it is today.
