Castle Dargan Golf Course

Darren Clarke has used the natural ebb and flow of the setting on the estates grounds here at Castle Dargan. The majestic trees, tracts of gnarled ground and rocky seams accompanied by the ancient stone walls remain.

The result is a quite beautiful golf course of daring beauty located in Sligo. He has embraced the land rather than trying to impose his design ideas upon it. Castle Dargan provides a calming but eerie presence on the horizon which adds to the soulful atmosphere of the resort that has everything you could ask for.

Graeme Beatt is the Golf Course Superintendent at Castle Dargan & joined us from Kingsbarns Golf Links two years ago. He has turned his hand to reporting on behalf of the Royal & Ancient. Graeme also honed his skills at such prestigeous golfing venues as Scotscraig GC and Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Graeme and his dedicated greens team are on the course before 6am every morning, cutting, rolling and nurturing the course daily.

"I like a course were everyone can have a go at things and I'm happy that we have achieved that at Castle Dargan. Our ambition was to create for the North West and its golfing visitors, a choice of what is best in Irish links and now parkland golf"
