About the Golf Course
Since its inception in 1998, and designed by James Healy, Rathbane Golf Course is a public golf course, owned by Limerick City and County Council and operated by Mack Trading Ltd since 2001.
It has welcomed golfers of all skill levels, providing a gateway to the world of drives and putts for novices and experts alike. Rathbane Golf Club is also celebrating its silver anniversary having formed the same year.
​
Situated on the outskirts of the city, Rathbane Golf Course is owned by Limerick City and County Council and operated by Mack Trading Ltd. Over the last quarter of a century the course has facilitated over a million rounds of golf while proudly maintaining its Best Value Golf reputation.
With a staggering average of forty thousand rounds of golf played each year, the course has witnessed an impressive array of birdies, eagles, and yes, even a few bogeys!
​
The course has evolved as a challenging terrain for low handicap golfers, while remaining accessible and fair to complete beginners. A significant milestone in Rathbane's history was reached in 2008, when Limerick City and County Council, in collaboration with the Department of Tourism, invested substantially in the course's redevelopment.
​
This investment saw the introduction of new tee boxes, a serene lake, and an enhanced green, solidifying Rathbane's reputation as a top-tier golfing destination. Operating under the stewardship of Mack Trading Ltd., Rathbane Golf Course has consistently raised the bar year after year. Its commitment to improvement has transformed it into a golfing destination to rival the area's premier courses.
