In 1993 Bobby Browne was commissioned for
the second stage of development and
undertook a redesign of the course. In
1995 the much acclaimed course architect the
late Tom Craddock gave his design
recommendations for a long term development
plan. Finally and more recently in 2008 the
design services of Tommy Halpin were
enlisted again to complete the final stage
of the clubs' vision for this grand design.
The course has matured beautifully over the
20 years and bears little resemblance to the
original design. Many thousands of trees
have been planted and today Castlewarden boasts an enviable selection of
native and exotic trees. The members now
enjoy a course of championship standard
and it presents an interesting challenge for
every level of golfer.
The house known as Castlewarden
House pre-date the 16th century. In 1941 the
Harrington family sold the farm of 200 acres
to the O’Malley family. The O'Malley's
then lived there and enjoyed a thriving
mixed farming family business until they
sold 160 acres approx. to what is now
home to Castlewarden Golf and Country Club. In 2004
the original house, which is listed as a
national monument, was tastefully extended
to include a new bar and restaurant with
excellent views of the 1st and 3rd
holes. Fully fitted ladies and gents locker
rooms and professional golf shop now
complete these modern Clubhouse facilities.
Hope you enjoy your visit to Castlewarden
Golf & Country Club . |
