Dungannon golf club Tyrone

Dungannon Golf Course

The present course was designed by the Knock Golf Club Professional Sam Bacon.
The course is located in typical drumlin countryside, with the skyline of Dungannon as a backdrop to the east. The course structure reflects the different acquisition dates of the front and back nine holes, in that the first nine are reasonably flat whilst the terrain of back nine starts testing the fitness and psyche of the average golfer, where his morale is most vulnerable, through contrasting, short and fairly steep drumlin slopes and little - if any - pin visibility. Fairways are wider than most throughout the course, the intention being to let the ponds, bunkers and course structure challenge both player and his skills.
Just prior to the development of its new Clubhouse - opened on 9th June 2000 by Darren Clarke, a former member and now an Honorary, life member, Andersen Match play Champion 2000 - the Club reconstructed three holes to tighten the course and make it a greater challenge to the average golfer. One of these (the ninth) is now called "Darren Clarke" which features a (fairly) narrow, ribbon-like crescent shaped green, completely protected from the tee by a pond.
2009 saw the opening of 6 new greens 10,11,12,13,15, & 16 making the course more interesting and challenging.

History of Dungannon
Instituted 1890 affiliated 1891
Dungannon Golf Club was founded in 1890 and is one of the nine Founder Clubs of the GUI. It began as a nine-hole course and subsequently leased additional land to extend to the eighteen-hole it presently holds.
In common with other clubs of its vintage, its clubhouse facilities were small and primitive with an on-going process of building bigger and better, until in year 2000, the Clubhouse was completely rebuilt on the site of its predecessors to provide the best facilities possible for the new Millennium.
