Carlow Golf Club

Overview: Carlow Golf Club is a prestigious and historic parkland-heathland hybrid course set on the wild landscape of the former Bruen Estate. Designed by the visionary architect Tom Simpson and opened in its current location in 1922, the "Deerpark" course is often compared to a links layout that happens to be inland. Characterized by its rolling terrain, firm sandy soil, and strategic bunkering, Carlow offers a championship-standard test that is widely regarded as one of the best-designed inland courses on the island of Ireland.

Did You Know? Tom Simpson was known for his "less is more" approach to course design, and at Carlow, he utilized the natural glacial eskers to create undulating fairways that require golfers to play from a variety of lies. The course remains remarkably true to Simpson's original vision, featuring his signature "unseen" undulations and technical greens that have challenged generations of Ireland's top amateur golfers.
