The 3547 yards to be covered incorporate the mischievous par 3 5th hole at 223 yards and the testing par 5 9th at 614 yards.

Mullingar Golf Club
Mullingar Golf Club is located at Belvedere, Mullingar, 5km south of the town centre and just off the main N52 [Nenagh – Dundalk] route, 80km west of Dublin along the M4/N4. The course layout is the work of famous Scottish golf course designer and 5 times Open Champion James Braid [1870 – 1950]. Although some changes have been made since its creation in 1935, Mullingar is essentially as its designer intended, a championship challenge set in a mature wooded parkland that was once part of the Belvedere Estate. The course runs to 6,685 yards with a classic par 72 balance of 10 par 4’s, 4 par 5’s and 4 par 3’s. It’s routing is player friendly, returning to the club house at 3, and 9. All four par 3 ‘s are feature holes, but the 209 yard second is the signature hole, with its elevated tee and green it is considered one of the best par 3’s in Irish golf.
