Ballina Golf Club

Overview: Ballina Golf Club plays as an 18-hole parkland course at Mossgrove in County Mayo, close to Ballina and the Moy Valley. Regional Mayo tourism material describes a course with fairways, greens and water hazards set against the Ox Mountains. The current club identity is a full championship-style round, with visitors and societies accommodated at the Mossgrove site. The available current sources confirm the 18-hole layout and Eddie Hackett association but do not provide one consistent current par and tee length, so those fields remain open.

History: Ballina Golf Club was established in 1910 and moved through several early locations before settling at Mossgrove in 1924, formerly part of the Jones Estate. The course expanded to 18 holes in 1995 and a new clubhouse was added in 2005. Eddie Hackett is credited with the current championship course. The history is one of a long-lived Mayo club gradually securing a permanent home and developing a modern full-length course.

Did You Know? The course sits in the Moy Valley with the Ox Mountains forming the wider backdrop. That geography helps distinguish Ballina from the nearby links at Enniscrone: Ballina is a parkland course inland from the Atlantic, while the mountain and river-valley setting give it a different kind of West of Ireland landscape.
