Listowel Golf Club

The opening of Listowel Golf Course in 1995 was the fulfilment of a dream for its proprietor, Michael F. Barrett, a past captain (1970 - 1971) and President (1990 -1991) of the world renowned ballybunion Golf Club. The course is dominated by a towering wood which runs like a spine through its middle. The exciting opening downhill par 4 exposes the major feature of the course, the splendid 'Silver River Feale'. Three holes then run along this beautifull, but menacing river, before two run parallel to them under the shadow of the wood. This is the southern side of the course. The finishing 3 holes are on the northern side of the wood. It is a challenging layout intended to test the course management and shot-making ability of even the best players.
