Shandon Park Golf Course

Shandon Park Club Crest

Shandon Park Golf Club originated in The Knock Golf Club and moved to its present location in 1926 it then extended to one of the finest 18-hole Parklands to be found in the country in 1937.

Its signature hole is the short picturesque 18th played from an elevated tee to a green below protected by the river, a bit reminiscent of the 10th at Hermitage. Shandon has many memorable and testing holes, not least the 455 yards 6th and the 425 yards 16th. Shandon Park has a long and illustrious tradition in producing some of the finest armature golfers having won no less than 12 Bulmers Senior Cups, the first being at Portstewart in 1960 and the last at Co. Sligo in 1994. Shandon also has 5 Bulmers Barton Shields decorating the clubhouse walls the first was achieved at Co. Sligo in 1963 and their last was at Kilkenny in 1995. I have no doubt there are more to follow as this club has the ability to produce and continue to produce fine golfers.

Their most famous son has to be Michael Hoey who won the Irish Amateur Championship at The Royal Dublin in 1998 at the tender age of 17. Michael went on to win the British Amateur Championship at Prestwick in July 2001 and he took three points out of four when Britain and Ireland won the Walker Cup by 15 matches to, 9 matches at Ocean Forest G. C. on 12th of August the same year.

Shandon Park Golf Club has a magnificent clubhouse where the golfer will find all the facilities he or she can desire. A very warm welcome awaits the golfer after a memorable round of golf. If you are lucky enough to bump into Brendan Edwards the last Secretary of the Ulster Branch of the GUI then your visit will be all the more memorable as Brendan is one of golf's gentlemen.

History of Shandon Park

A Brief History of The Club
A nine hole layout was first opened for play at the present Shandon Park Golf Club site on 30th April 1898. However, the original name of the club which played on this course was Knock Golf Club,  formed in 1895. It wasn’t until 1925 that the idea of establishing the Shandon Park Golf Club was conceived after  Knock Golf Club moved to their present location in 1920. In 1936, a full eighteen holes was developed, designed by the club professional assisted by Mr Eric Riley.

In the annals of Irish golf, Shandon Park Golf Club stands out more than most due to the competitions the course has hosted, the titles it has won and by the quality of the players it has produced.

For seven decades the Club has had a veritable production line of international players who have represented their country and Walker Cup teams with distinction. The most recent of these is Michael Hoey, four time winner on the European Tour and recent holder of the Dunhill Trophy.

The Club has attained 13 All Ireland Senior Cup victories, British Amateur and Brabazon Cup wins by Michael Hoey and David Long and a total of eight. Full Internationals and one Walker Cup player, (Michael Hoey).

In addition, there have been many other All Ireland victories by other Club teams and Shandon Park has the distinction of being European Club Champions in 2000 and 2001.

Shandon Park hosted the Blaxnit Championship in 1964 with such notables in the field as Tony Jacklin, Christy O’Connor and the Club’s own amateur, Brendan Edwards. From 1965 to 1970 Shandon was home to the Gallaher Ulster Open which again brought the cream of the professional game to Belfast. Peter Allis, Brian Barnes, Dai Rees and Peter Oosterhuis all competed during this time.

The Club built a new clubhouse in 2000 and since then has successfully hosted the All Ireland Finals in 2007. Shandon Park also hosted the 2012 Ladies British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship and the World Police and Fire Games golf in August 2013.
