Golf was first played in Claremorris at the Race Course in 1917. After a few years a more suitable ground was found in Castlemagarrett and rented from Lord Oranmore & Browne. It was then known as the Castlemagarrett Golf Club.

In 1961 the Estate was taken over by the Land Commission and Golf Course purchased by the newly established Claremorris Development Company, on behalf of the Golf Club.

Situated approximately 2 miles from the town on the Galway Road the entrance skirts a pine wood and a silvery stream. From the new Club House a beautiful panorama unfolds. The undulating fairways traversed by a stream, the ancient ash, oak and elm trees, the pine wood, the spinneys, with the Partry mountains in the background, make it a golfer's paradise.
