Fota Island

It would appear that golf was first played at Fota Island as far back as the 1800’s. In 1993, a new course was developed at Fota Island, designed by Irish Ryder Cup star Christy O’Connor Jr. and twice English Amateur Champion Peter McEvoy.  The woodlands are cleverly woven into a challenging 72 par course, which is a natural compliment to Old Head. Fota Island has hosted a number of tournaments, including the Irish Club Professional Championship, the Irish PGA Championship, the Irish Open in 2014, and no fewer than three Irish Amateur Opens.
