Slievenamon Golf Club

Slievenamon Golf Club sits in the countryside near Clonmel in County Tipperary, taking its name from the prominent mountain that dominates the local landscape. Designed by Paddy Butler, the course occupies rolling parkland terrain characteristic of this part of Ireland's south-central region, where the Golden Vale meets higher ground. The layout works with the natural contours of the land, offering golfers a mix of elevation changes and views toward Slievenamon itself. The course serves the local golfing community in Clonmel and the surrounding Tipperary area. As a parkland design, it features tree-lined fairways and traditional Irish golf architecture, with strategic bunkering and greens that require careful approach play. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, presenting holes that move across slopes and through varied terrain. Slievenamon represents the kind of members' club common throughout Ireland, where the focus remains on providing accessible golf in a pleasant setting rather than championship tournament play. The club maintains traditions typical of Irish golf clubs, with a welcoming clubhouse and a calendar built around member competitions and social events. For visitors exploring golf in Tipperary, the course offers a genuine local experience away from more heavily trafficked tourist destinations.
