Views from the 10th hole tee span three counties with the Slieve Donard mountain in County Down on the left and the Sperrin Mountains in County Tyrone ahead.
The course was developed in 1911 on the Duke of Manchester’s Estate and green fees Belfast were collected at the Gate Lodge, which is still the entrance to the club. In 1928, green fees were set at “two shillings per day with no reduction for visitors staying with members overnight”. Tandragee Golf Club is a formidable yet picturesque 18 hole parkland course, set in the scenic County Armagh countryside. Parts of the course overlook the ancient Tandragee Castle and on many holes golfers can admire the mature woodlands astride the fast flowing River Cusher. The duck pond is an unusual attraction at Tandragee Golf Club, often visited by golfers and non-golfers alike. ‘The Wall’, par 4 11th, is regarded as the signature hole and commands respect. The original boundary wall of the Estate marks out of bounds on the right while the trees on the left guide you to a slightly hidden green.
Did you know?
In 1911, during the creation of the course, the Duchess of Manchester, who was from Cincinnati, Ohio, designed some of the original bunkers, which were laid out in the shape of America’s Great Lakes. These remain to this day.
