Roscrea Golf Club is a parkland course set beneath the Slieve Bloom Mountains in the geographical centre of Ireland. Founded in 1892 and established at its present Derryvale site since 1911, the club expanded from nine to 18 holes after acquiring additional land; eleven new holes, designed by Dr Arthur Spring with sand-based greens, were completed for the club centenary in 1992. The course is described on the club website as scenic with a mix of interesting and testing holes and well-regarded greens. Notable holes include a par-3 that requires a shot over water and a par-4 whose fairway is guarded by out-of-bounds on the left and trees on the right. On-course practice and clubhouse amenities are provided, including a practice putting green, changing rooms and bar and restaurant facilities. Roscrea runs open competitions for men and ladies on Wednesdays from March to October; visitors are invited to book via the club’s online booking system or by telephone and a visitor fee is noted on the site. The course has direct access from the M7 motorway and the club lists approximate drive times from major cities, making it straightforward to reach for visiting players.
