Templemore golf club Tipperary

Templemore Golf Course

Templemore Golf Club is fine 9-hole Parkland course located just outside the town. The club has been in existence since 1970 and have been successful in national and regional competitions alike.
Measuring 5,780 metres for the 18-holes the course has 12 different tee boxes. The course has a Par of 70 and a standard scratch of 68, this SSS also represents the course record shot by none other than Richie Coughlan who gained his card for both the PGA and European Tour on his first attempt. Thus indicating that Templemore golf course is no pushover.
The club has developed a fine clubhouse where the visitor is always made welcome. A word of warning about Templemore, when you approach the course don't be put off by the number of cars in the car park as the young recruits in the Garda Training College across the road use it to park their cars, it does not mean the course is full.
