Since opening in 1993, the Hawthorn by Galway Bay golf course has become one of the West of Ireland’s most cherished golfing destinations. Designed by Irish golfing legend Christy O’Connor Jr., the course was thoughtfully laid out to echo the natural contours of the dramatic Atlantic coastline — creating a layout that’s as beautiful as it is memorable.

This 18-hole, par-72 championship course delivers wide fairways, true greens, and panoramic vistas at every turn. Whether you’re chasing your personal best or simply soaking in coastal views, the test of golf here is unbeatable.
