The Natural water hazard is the Atlantic Ocean; such is the
dramatic backdrop to this Par 72 PGA Championship 18 hole
golf course that is Galway Bay Golf Resort close to the
village of
Oranmore, just 10 km from Galway City.
When designing
the course, former Ryder Cup and World Cup golfer Christy
O'Connor Jnr superbly blended the stunning backdrop of
Galway Bay and the rugged curves of the Atlantic coastline
with mature trees, water hazards, concealed bunkers and
highly acclaimed putting surfaces.
With variable wind speed
and directions this Championship Galway golf course plays
differently each day posing a considerable challenge to even
the lowest handicap golfers, yet it is a true and fair test
of golf.
