Donegal Golf Club

Donegal Golf Club was founded in 1959 when the first golf course and clubhouse were built at Tullycullion on the edge of Donegal Town. The land for the course was granted to the club by the Temple family, owners of Magee & Co.In the early 70's some far-sighted members identified the links land of the Murvagh Penninsula as being more than suitable for a golf course.  The land was leased from the Department of Lands and Ireland 's leading golf course designer at the time, Eddie Hackett (pictured right), was hired to design an 18-hole championship course. The course and new clubhouse were officially opened in 1976.
