Galway Bay Golf Club is surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic but is of parkland character rather than links despite its proximity to the ocean. Designed to championship standard by Christy O' Connor Jnr. of Ryder Cup fame and winner for the past two years of the Seniors British Open title at Royal County Down Golf Club.
