History of Seapoint

Founded 1993, affiliated 1993.

What the Club tells us:

Planning permission for the construction of the links at Seapoint, designed by Des Smyth and Associates, was granted in early 1990. It is important to note that the Company was comprised of Des Smyth, Declan Branigan, Barry Reddan and Joseph Cummins and all parties contributed to the design of the Links. The Design team was then awarded the construction and grow-in contract under the direction of Declan Branigan and construction began on the 1st of July 1990.

Pat Fallon Plant Hire, a Termonfeckin based company, was employed to carry out the construction work. Such was the level of machinery that they devoted to the site, all of the earthworks was completed by the end of September and the links was prepared for seeding and then seeded prior to the winter of that year. This was a troublesome time as the irrigation was not installed until 1991 and strong winds wreaked havoc at times giving rise to multiple areas being reseeded a number of times. Nevertheless, the grow-in was concluded successfully and the first golf ball was struck in anger at Seapoint on the 1st June 1993. The links was young and raw at that time with severe rough but as time progressed, many golfers began playing the links and the membership began to grow. In the meantime, the Clubhouse was constructed in 1994, now the venue had all that was required to be a success.

The links matured quickly and in it`s 3rd year of play Seapoint hosted the Glen Dimplex, a professional match play tournament, and many of Europe`s finest professionals participated. The tournament was the brain child of Lochlan Quinn, one of the 5 Promoters of Seapoint, the other four being Louis Noonan, Mat Doolan, Charlie Smyth and Paul Burke Kennedy. The winner was one Des Smyth who defeated Paul Mc Ginley in a quality final on the 18th hole. This was to be the first of many important tournaments to be hosted by the Club.
