Colt in the 1920s and later refined by Martin Hawtree in the early 2000s, resulting in a classic out-and-back links layout stretching 7,269 yards with a par of 72. The club has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including the Irish Open in 1931, 1936, 1951, 1983, 1984, and 1985, with champions like Seve Ballesteros and Bernhard Langer.
