Seapoint in Golf Digest Top 30!

11th Members of Seapoint Golf Club are celebrating its rating as one of the top 30 courses in Ireland, a jump of 23 places in the Golf Digest Ireland top 100 survey.

Peter Jordan, chairman of the club's joint committee said that, while the members were delighted with the result, they were not surprised as the course has matured and improved every year.

'Designed by Ryder Cup Vice Captain, Des Smyth and renowned amateur golfer Declan Branigan, our club opened its doors only 15 years ago.

'In that time we have invested in the layout and the maintenance to make this a showcase of links golf.

'While all of us in the club are very proud of the course, it is very rewarding to get feedback from the many visitors from at home and abroad.

'So impressed with the course on a recent visit, Darren Clarke said that it was in prime condition and just right to stage a major PGA event,' Peter said.

Seapoint is one of two Louth courses to be named listed as top courses in Ireland, with County Louth Golf Club in Baltray ranked 9th. Also named on the list was Dundalk Golf Club.

These high rankings along with the fact that some of the best golfers in the world live in the county, places Louth as an ideal location for golfing holidays.

' We have recently launched www.playandstay.ie and joined forces with three other courses and seven local hotels in the north east to offer visitors three games of golf and two nights‚ bed and breakfast for only € 200 per person, which is real value,' he said.

'Our new five day membership offer and seven day annual membership is also attracting a lot of attention and is fantastic value for the quality and condition of our course, just 35 minutes from Dublin'.

Saturday last saw thilling matches in the North Leinster mixed against Delvin Catle with the deciding match going down the first again. What a performance by the Seapoint team of Una and Colin, Eithne and Dermott, Valerie and Eunan, Kathleen and Seamus, Marie and Brian.


Fionnula Jordan and Una Brennan still in the winning enclosure having beaten Howth at Seapoint recently in the AIB Ladies Amature Club C/ships, hope they go all the way to the finals!!


Also still standing for Seapoint is the Newbridge All Ireland Club Mixed, formerly the BMW mixed, next round yet to be advised.  Good run all round this year for the teams.
