About
Glasson Golf Club, about 10 km north-east of Athlone at Killinure on the shore of Lough Ree, is an 18-hole championship parkland course designed by Christy O'Connor Jr., playing to 6,731 yards at par 71 with lakeside views over the lough. It offers four sets of tees for different abilities, a PGA-run academy and a golf simulator, and it welcomes visiting golfers, societies and groups alongside members and hotel guests. It is the standout golf option in the Athlone area and a genuine reason some visitors base themselves out at Glasson rather than the town centre.
