History of Co. Sligo/Rosses Point

Instituted 1894 affiliated 1902

The Golfing Annual 1894-95, tells us that Co. Sligo was founded in 1894, that its first President was Col. Cooper, and the Vice-President was Sir H. W Gore-Booth, Bart "The course of nine-holes is situated at Rosses Point, about five miles from Sligo, but as there is plenty of ground available, it will before long be extended to eighteen-holes. The turf is of first-rate quality and the hazards are bunkers, sandpits, bends, a quarry, a wall, a road and broken ground. There is no crossing. The par of the round is 38"

Mr. George Combe, was a key figure in setting up the club, and was the founding Secretary of the GUI, and the Combe cup is still played for at the club.

In April, 1907, the new nine-holes were opened, having been laid out by Mr. W. Campbell, a scratch golfer and a member of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society.

In 1926, H. S Colt the famous golf architect was retained to redesign the course. Over the following two years, he laid out what is now the present Championship Course and home of the West of Ireland at Easter each year since 1923, except for three years when it went to Enniscrone, when the greens were being relayed.
