When he arrived on the site that is now the golf course at Glasson Country Club, designer Christy O'Connor Jnr was struck by the awesome natural beauty of the land as he looked over Lough Rae and Killenure Bay.

Since its completion in 1993 the course at Glasson Country House & Golf Club has become widely considered as one of the most scenic courses in Ireland which, when you consider the other courses present on the Emerald Isle, is high praise indeed. The course sits on the shores of Lough Ree, views of which can be enjoyed from every hole.
Although the stunning scenery is one of the many memories you will take away from Glasson, it is the fantastic challenge that the golf course offers to players of all abilities that is the main reason to visit this gem of a course just outside of Athlone. Designed by Ryder Cup star, Christy O'Connor Jnr, the course is cleverly crafted, so that more talented players are given a thorough workout while higher handicappers will not be overawed by the test that awaits. Multiple tee positions can stretch the course to as much as 7,215 yards; perfect for a championship test, while the forward tees can reduce the course to a more manageable 6,313 yards; perfect for a more relaxing round.
This gently undulating parkland layout is not only famed for its breathtaking location. The conditioning if the course is second to none which, in tandem with the challenging layout, has lead to Glasson hosting numerous regional and international events including European Challenge Tour events in August 2007 & 2008.
Look out for the stunning par 5 14th; a dramatic par-5 which sweeps around the trees and down towards the Killenure Bay. Another highlight follows soon after at the par 3 15th where players must hit their tee shots over a great expanse of water to a peninsula green; one of the most exciting shots in the whole of Ireland.
This elegant hotel, set in the beautiful scenery of central Ireland, is the perfect complement to Christy O'Connor's superb neighbouring golf course.
The 65 en-suite bedrooms are all fitted out in luxurious fashion, and many afford views of the stunning Lough Rae and beyond. The hotel also has very comfortable public areas, including a welcoming restaurant, which serves excellent cuisine in a dining room which boasts real log fires.

Loved the stay here couldn’t fault it. The hotel facilities and room are good but it was the hospitality that I thought was exceptional. Naturally friendly staff that couldn’t have done more for you. Can’t wait for the opportunity to return.

Beautiful golf course and well maintained. Greens in excellent condition. Long and challenging, but worth the effort. Appeared very popular. Highly recommend the experience.
Millionaires golf, nobody in front, nobody behind and a course in great condition. Difficulty level on the course is perfect for my standard of game. I’m inconsistent off the tee which will be penalised fairly here ie recovery or rough, but you don’t spend ages ball hunting and can normally find unless the water on the course gets you. There is certainly enough challenge on the course and plenty of variety in the holes so entertains place to play especially with the views. Loved my round here and would think it feels like a course that could be enjoyed by the lesser golfers as well as the better.
My dad and husband golfed over two days and found the course very playable and fair.
