History
The period from 1991 to 1997 was probably the most progressive period in the historical development of New Ross Golf Club. Plans were drafted to build the current clubhouse in 1997. The clubhouse was completed and opened to members in 1998.
In 2005, its centenary year, it was decided to redesign the 11th hole building a brand new green. The 18th green was also re-designed. Further redevelopment of the 12th, 13th, 15th and 16th greens commenced in September 2008 and is due to be completed and open to play in May 2009.
The course
The back nine has been in play for over a hundred years while the front nine has been in play since 1995. The new nine was designed by Des Smyth (2006 Ryder Cup Vice-Captain) and Declan Brannigan, and is an example of modern design with old style golfing values. In the far distance forming a spectacular backdrop to the 11th green lies the fifteen mile stretch of the Blackstairs Mountains from Dranagh to Mount Leinster, separating counties Carlow and Wexford.
