Carlow Golf Club is an inland course, laid out in a former wild deer park over undulating terrain with numerous elevated tees, several excellent dog-legs and small slick putting surfaces. Extensive, mature woods are a strong feature in a pleasant countryside setting where the unusually sandy soil has the bonus of allowing year-round play. The course is rated amongst the top 20 championship courses in Ireland. There are many long par 4s and the 16th, a very demanding two shooter played through a tunnel-like valley, has been chosen by Christy O’Connor Snr. as the foremost 16th hole in Ireland. The par 5, 18th offers the chance of a closing birdie and a grandstand finish as it tumbles downhill all the way back to the clubhouse. A good ending to a memorable round.
The 9 hole par 35, Oakpark Course, owned by Carlow Golf Club, was designed by renowned architect Jeff Howes and is a truly terrific layout. Situated on rolling terrain, it provides a superb challenge to golfers of all standards. Similar to the championship Deerpark course, the emphasis is on accurate iron play and a delicate short game!
Open daylight hours. The Clubhouse Bar is open every day from
10am-10.30pm. A fully serviced restaurant offers a choice of breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and is open from 10am-10pm daily

Carlow Little Theatre presents Big Maggie
Dates 14 May 2026 until 17 May 2026
Tickets: €23/€21 including booking fee
VISUAL Carlow
Carlow Little Theatre Society return to the stage of The George Bernard Shaw Theatre this coming May with John B. Keane’s dark and powerful play Big Maggie.
Set in rural Ireland, the drama centres on Maggie Polpin, a newly widowed mother of four who seizes control of the family farm and business following her husband’s death. Determined to secure independence from male dominance and the dominance of church and state,
Maggie challenges traditional expectations of maternal sacrifice while exposing tensions around power, property, morality and family loyalty. As her uncompromising pursuit of control unfolds, it gradually alienates those closest to her, creating a gripping portrait of strength, survival and the emotional cost of dominance within the Irish family.
