Omagh golf club Tyrone
Omagh Golf Course
Omagh Golf Club is an 18-hole Parkland founded in 1910, the course was redesigned by Don Patterson in 1983. Don who was Ronan Rafferty's mentor when Ronan set all the standards both at amateur and professional levels back then.
Omagh is located on the River Drumragh and is transverse by the Main Dublin Road. The course has many challenging and memorable holes, but none more so than the 380 mts 8th that has put manors on the best of golfers.
Omagh Golf Club in my experiences is one of the friendliest clubs in the country. The clubhouse is charming and the members are knowledgeable about their golf. A warm welcome awaits one and all at Omagh Golf Club.

History of Omagh
Instituted 1910 affiliated 1911
It would appear Omagh had two nine-hole courses, the older club being founded in 1892. By 1909, this club had become a private family-run concern, which did not cater for the needs of the locality.
The Omagh Golf Club was inaugurated on 24th February 1910, at a meeting held in the Courthouse Omagh. The inaugural President was Capt. Archinleck, who had agreed to suitable lands for the course and the Captain was Mr. F. Shields. The nine-hole, course was laid out by G. A. Baillie the founder, of golf at Belfast.
The club extended to its present eighteen-holes in May 1983.
