Limerick County is a major golf facility in southwest of Ireland, and is ideally located 27km from Shannon Airport. Comprising of a championship standard golf course, driving range, spectacular clubhouse, and seventy-eight beautiful home sites.
The course, originally designed by Des Smyth and Associates, meanders over undulating, sand-based terrain, and provides firm footing for the golfer throughout the year. Des has made excellent use of the landscape, and this provides for some spectacular second shots, particularly on the front nine holes.
Limerick Golf and Country Club is built on part of the Croker Estate, the ancestral home of the notorious "Boss" Croker of New York's Tammany Hall. Croker lore has it that as the family patriarch lay dying he was promised a fairer land on the other side. He replied "I doubt it".
After playing Limerick County at Ballyneety, we are sure you too will echo the venerable Mr. Croker's sentiments.
Limerick County Golf and Country Club completed a €1.5m course improvement programme in April 2005. The course improvement programme comprised the redesigning and building of 5 completely new golf holes, 6 new tee complexes, replacement of irrigation heads to all greens and tees and verti-drainage of the fairway on the 1st hole, and the purchase of the top of the range fleet course machinery.
All of the new developments are now fully in play and add an extra dimension to the ever maturing course.
Limerick County has quickly become one of the most desirable residential locations in the Shannon Region, with 77 luxury homes now built within the complex, and a further 13 nearing completion.
The Club has also played a major part in the development and growth of the Village of Ballyneety and the surrounding area. Limerick County Ltd. brought the natural gas and city water supply to the village of Ballyneety, and the Company is developing plans to bring a further 60 luxury homes into the Village in the near future.
