City of Derry has played host to many world-class professional and amateur golfers. Four times winner of the Open and five times winner of the PGA Walter Hagen played the course in 1937 and was more than enthusiastic about its qualities at the time. The club has had its fair share of famous members, including 1947 Open Championship winner Fred Daly. Since then not much has changed, though the club is now a 27-hole golfing complex that includes an 18-hole championship course, a 9-hole hillside course and a practice area and putting green.

The championship course spans almost 6, 000 metres with lush green fairways meandering through mature woodland with clumps of gorse trapping careless tee shots. There are picture postcard views over the River Foyle and the Donegal hills to enjoy throughout your round. The championship Prehen course is an enjoyable test for golfers of all standards and a comprehensive drainage programme has resulted in it now being virtually immune to the elements. Only one day's play has been lost in the last three years - and that because of snow.
