Westport Golf Club is rated as one of the top golf courses in Ireland.
It is recognised as a prestigious venue and has hosted both the Ladies Home Internationals in 1989 and the Irish Amateur Close Championship on three occasions, most recently in 1997.
The staging of the 2002 Smurfit Irish P.G.A. Championship in Westport clearly establishes Mayo as the premier golf county in Ireland. No other county has the combination of a regional airport, a wide range of affordable accommodation, a National Tidy Town Award Winner and most importantly easy accessibility to every type of golf course imaginable.
