Dungarvan Golf International:

This prestigious event’s eighth staging took place from 23rd to the 25th May at our three local courses. Despite the inclement weather all the participants were fulsome in their praise of the tournament and the quality of the three courses, not forgetting the important social aspect at the tournament launch and presentation nights. The International is a showcase event for golf in the area and brings an influx of visitors to the town and surrounding areas which is of benefit to all. Following feedback from previous competitors and extensive discussions between the 3 local golf clubs, the Classic will undergo some changes in date and formats to provide fresh impetus to the event.

Dungarvan Golf Triangle:
Golf tourism as we all know is now a big business in Ireland and the Dungarvan area is ideally placed to garner its share of this ever-expanding market. A major selling point of our three courses, Dungarvan Golf Club, Gold Coast Golf Club and ourselves West Waterford Golf Club is that we are all within 5 minutes drive of Dungarvan town center. The “Dungarvan Golf Triangle” effectively, allows you to purchase a ticket that enables you to play each of the three courses, Monday to Friday for the combined price of €75, and in this era of high green fee rates, this represents good value. ‘The Dungarvan Golf Triangle’ is being advertised through all the usual mediums and is on sale in each of the three golf clubs. Tickets are valid up to 31st December 2006.
