Description :
Greencastle Golf Club (founded 1892) has witnessed and undergone many changes in its long and eventful history. For most of its life it was a nine hole course, well known for its hospitality and its stunning scenery. The advent of its Centenary Year 1992 seemed to galvanise and concentrate the membership as a whole into making major new developments. The Clubhouse was transformed, bar modernised, new changing/locker rooms added and extra space created. However the most momentous change of all was changing the layout of course to 18 holes.
This was indeed a major achievement. New land was purchased and developed in the space of a few years prior to 1992. The present new course was opened in 1992 to the acclaim of all. For men, it measures 5,145 metres (white boxes), par 69, SSS 67.
For ladies 4544 metres, par 70 SSS 69. It is a challenging course with many feature holes. If the test of a good golf course is to be continuously wondering what club to use from the tree and fairway then Greencastle passes with flying colours. the scenic beauty, indigenous to the area has been retained. Whenever you stand on the course, you are confronted by beautiful and sometimes breathtaking scenery.
NEW DEVELOPMENT
Further development of the course has taking place since 2003. This new development, which should be ready for 2005, although not increasing the number of holes, will enhance and give an extra dimension to the present ones. These will increase the yardage for men, to 5,560 metres (white boxes), with a par of 71. For ladies, 4279 metres, par 72.
