History Claremorris Golf Club was established in 1918 and affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland in 1920. Over the 10 years to 1925 Claremorris was only 1 of 29 clubs established. It must be remembered that in 1918 The Great War still raged and Claremorris was a town of military occupation. Running water and connection to the national electricity grid were still in the future as was a working telephone service. Thus it is all the more remarkable that the game of golf was established in Claremorris at the most difficult and turbulent of times.
Claremorris (Clar Chlainne Mhuiris- The Plain of Maurice Prendergasts Clan), County Mayo is superbly located in the heart of the west on the N17 half way between Galway and Sligo and only 30 miles from the rugged Atlantic coastline surrounded by rolling plains, rivers and lakes and with a backdrop of Croagh Patrick and the Partry Mountains.
