About: Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club

Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club is a members' golf club, in Donegal. The club was first formed in 1957.

Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club was established on January 22nd, 1957, with Mr. W.H. Raitt serving as its first president and Mr. John Joe Kennedy as the founding captain. The original nine-hole course was opened for play in June 1958 and the clubhouse was unofficially marked by presentations made from the back of a tractor.

An old pavilion purchased from a local cricket club served as the early clubhouse, contributing to the community atmosphere. The course, initially nine holes, expanded to an 18-hole layout in 1978 following the acquisition of additional land, funded in part by the proceeds from a successful run of Friday night bingo.

By the unknown designer, the course was further improved with the purchase of essential machinery and the employment of skilled workers. It is now regarded as one of the more notable parkland courses in the country, presenting a well-regarded playing experience.

The history of the course and the club was documented by founding member and course architect Mr. P.C. Carr in a booklet produced for the club's 50th Anniversary in 2007. The course record stands at 63, set by Mr. Enda McMenamin and matched by Mr. Derek McNeill; for the women, the record is 66, set by Ms. Darragh McGowan.

Green fees vary depending on the season and day of the week. From April to October, weekday green fees are €35.00 and weekend green fees are €40.00. From November to March, green fees are €30.00, regardless of the day.

Society rates are available for groups of 12 or more, with weekday rates at €25.00 and weekend rates at €30.00.
