Mullingar Golf Club was designed by James Braid and is one of the better-maintained parkland courses in the Irish midlands — mature tree-lined fairways, genuine variety in the design, and consistently good conditioning year-round. Mullingar sits at the heart of the Westmeath lake district: Lough Ennell is directly south of the town, Lough Owel to the north, and the whole area has a quiet, unhurried quality that is easy to underestimate from the motorway. The club has a long-established and well-earned reputation for welcoming visiting golfers. A quality stopping point for anyone crossing between Dublin and the west who wants something better than a filler round.

Getting There
Common questions
Who designed Mullingar Golf Club?
Mullingar Golf Club was designed by James Braid — five-time Open Champion and the most prolific course architect in British and Irish golf history. Braid designed and remodelled hundreds of courses across his career, and Mullingar is considered one of his better Irish parkland designs: well-routed through the rolling Westmeath countryside with consistent quality throughout.
Is Mullingar Golf Club a good course?
Mullingar is well-regarded among Irish parkland courses — consistently maintained to a good standard with a warm welcome for visitors. A James Braid design in the Irish midlands is something of a rarity and the course plays with the character of his best work: sensible routing, good variety, and a test that rewards course management over raw power.
How do I book Mullingar Golf Club?
Online through GolfNow. Tee times are generally available at short notice throughout the season.
What is Mullingar and Westmeath worth visiting for?
Mullingar is the county capital of Westmeath — a lake county with Loughs Ennell, Owel, and Derravaragh all within a short distance. The lakes are good trout and pike fishing. Belvedere House and Gardens on Lough Ennell is one of the finest Georgian estates in the midlands — the story of the eccentric 1st Earl of Belvedere and his imprisoned wife is one of the stranger tales in Irish social history.
