Venue

Baltray Golf Club

County Louth, Ireland

County Louth Golf Club is a links golf course located in the village of Baltray, County Louth, approximately 4 miles from Drogheda. The club was established in 1892, with the present course designed by Tom Simpson and Molly Gourlay in 1938. The championship course is a par 72 measuring 7,031 yards from the back tees and is currently ranked #8 by Golf Digest. The course is laid out in two loops with most holes running in different directions, and the greens are County Louth's hallmark—they are among the very best in Ireland. Baltray has no weak holes, and if you can avoid three putting for 18 holes, you have the right to claim you're a great putter. The back nine is especially entertaining with a number of holes running close to the shore with distant views towards the Mountains of Mourne. The course features natural unspoilt links with towering sandhills, testing rough and a variety of great holes that demand accurate hitting and strategic thinking. The East of Ireland Championship has been held at County Louth since 1941, with Darren Clarke winning in 1989. The Irish Open professional golf tournament, part of the PGA European Tour, has been held at County Louth on two occasions, in 2004 and 2009. In 2009, the club became the venue where 2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry won the Irish Open as an amateur. The course regularly ranks in the top 10 links courses in Ireland.
