Captain’s Welcome

 

Welcome to Carton House Golf Club.

 

It is indeed a great honour to serve as your Captain in 2026. We have a full calendar of events under the theme of ‘great golf in good company’. The season proper begins in March with our Joint Captain’s Drive-in, with Inter-Club fixtures shortly thereafter in girls, boys, ladies, men's and mixed competitions. We look forward to a successful year for Team Carton and all our members participating in Golf Ireland championships.

 

Competitions will include majors, medals, match-plays and memorial trophies, in particular we remember our club’s founder Lee Mallaghan and first captain Willie Coonan. In addition the majors (Captain’s, Vice-Captain’s and President’s prizes) we will have weekend competitions and mid-week semi-opens. Competitions and handicaps will be actively managed, while we will also hold social and junior golf events.

 

Our success depends on active participation and we thank the many members who volunteer support. Our club is growing and we warmly welcome new members. Our courses challenge golfers of all abilities and we promote fairness and respect across our golfing community. This year marks our 25th golfing season, while some on-course features such as the Shell Cottage have stood for 275 years and the estate itself has more than 850 years of history. Each year we add another small chapter to its colourful history. 

 

Enjoy the golfing experience this year, embrace the opportunity to compete and please reach out if you need any support.
