As Captain of Athy Golf Club I would like to welcome you to our club website where we hope you get to know more about us and our excellent facilities.
As one of Kildare's finest clubs, we provide a beautifully picturesque 18-hole golf course, enhanced by mature beech trees and the calming waters of lake and stream.
Take on the challenge of our extensive fairways and manicured greens before retiring to the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of our clubhouse, where the service and cuisine will make your visit complete.
We wish members and visitors a successful year's golfing, filled with memorable occasions, that will entice you to return time and time again.
Pat May, Captain 2012
It is a great honour to be Lady Captain of Athy Golf Club which besides being a wonderful golfing venue is also a social club where friendships made remain constant and I welcome all members and visitors to a new year at the Club.
There is a full calendar of events organised and I would encourage all members to continue to be involved in the club by entering competitions, attending social events and to actively promote the club to friends and acquaintances.
We have a wonderful Ladies Section who have a busy schedule planned for this year and who would also warmly welcome new members to our group. I look forward to working with Lady President Colette Kelly and Lady Vice-Captain Gabrielle Craig and the Ladies Committee and I hope to see lots of our ladies competing not just in club competitions but also in Inter-Club events.
I also welcome the opportunity to work with Pat May, our Mens Captain, and together we will promote and represent the Club and also, pledge our support in promoting Junior Golf within the Club.
Thank you for all your continued support and commitment and I wish you all good health and happiness throughout the year and happy golfing!
Heather Hegarty, Captain 2012
Hole 5 is the second of four Par 5's on the course. It is a long and difficult par 5 and being accurate from the tee is a must. The fairway is flanked to the left by a small forest and to the right is the 14th fairway. The front and left of the green have a water hazard and the right of the green is protected by bunkers so accuracy is the key.
Hole 16 is Index 1. It features the most undulating fairway on the course. If your tee shot is too long you risk running into a small forest, too short and you don't have a shot to the green. Birdies are rare on this hole.
