    We're off to Galway for a stags next month and rather than spend every day in the boozer I want to organise a game or two. Can anyone recommend quality courses within, say, a half hours drive of the city. All the better if they're listed on Open Fairways.

    Thanks!

    Shannon is a fantastic parkland. About 45mins drive though

    Bearna is nice too. only 5 minutes from the city

    Portumna is a beautiful parkland course.. Set right in middle of a forest wildlife park... But probably too far from Galway city but good if you making a day of it...

    I heard there was a beautiful course out Salthill direction too which would be alot nearer city

    Thanks for the replies lads. I've booked Bearna for next Thursday and Ballinrobe for Saturday. Should be a good weekend!
