County Sligo Golf Club is situated at Rosses Point, a seaside village eight kilometres north west of Sligo town, and is one of the oldest and best known links courses in Ireland. The club was founded in 1894 on land leased from Henry Middleton. He was an uncle of W.B. Yeats, the famous poet and Nobel Prize winner for literature, and his brother Jack B Yeats, the noted landscape painter.
The links are set out on one of the most scenic locations in Ireland - bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west; Benbulben dominates the view on the northern skyline and bears a striking resemblance to Cape Town's Table Mountain. To the east lie Glencar valley and the Dartry mountains with Lugnagall and Truskmore, while the southern vista is completed by Knocknarea, topped by a large Cairn of stones reputed to be the grave of the ' Warrior Queen Maeve of Connaught'.
