Athlone is a superb parkland course bounded on three sides by picturesque Lough Ree. Beautifully designed, the course exploits the natural splendour of its surroundings afforded from its vantage points - from the modern strategically appointed clubhouse, panoramic views of the lake and its wooded islands. Its tree lined fairways and undulating terrain make it a true test of golf.

Selected to host numerous provincial and national championships, its profile was further enhanced by the staging of the prestigious all Ireland Cups and shields final in 1998, and in 2007 the All Ireland Mixed Foursomes Finals and the All Ireland AA Insurance Ladies Championships. The club has excellent catering and bar facilities, a professional shop and visitors are always assured of a friendly welcome.
