Seventy-five years after it was established, Baltinglass came of age and finally added a new set of nine holes to create a full 18-hole course. Originally founded in 1928 with the new nine designed by Eddie Connaughton, the course itself enjoys a sublime setting overlooking the River Slaney, which seeps into the Wicklaw Mountains.

The striking beauty of the surrounding countryside cannot fail to stun visitors to the area and the history attached to the course is also something special with it being built on the ruins of the Cistercian Abbey.

Various options for a course extension were considered in the early 1990’s but it wasn’t until 1999 when a general meeting attended by the club’s 300 members resulted in an almost unanimous decision to make the course a full 18 holes. Around 80 acres of land was bought the same year and the rest is history. Now the club is renowned for its magnificent putting greens, lush fairways and for being one of the fairest but trickiest tests of golf in all of Ireland.
