Mullingar Golf Club
Mullingar Golf Club has been part and parcel of Irish Golf since 1894. During its first
forty years the club moved 'house' on no less than five occasions. In 1935 the club
finally settled on the magnificent rolling hills at Belvedere where it has been ever
since. It is regarded as one of the best of James Braid's finest designs. Mullingar's
championship status was formerly recognised in 1952 when it hosted the Irish Professional
Championship, and again in 1959 and 1965. The Irish matchplay championship was played at
Mullingar in 1972.
Mullingar Scratch Trophy
The Mullingar Scratch Trophy has featured in the lives of most of the current crop of
Irish Tour players. Clarke won here in 1989, McGinley in 1991, Harrington in 1994, and
Murphy in 1995. Presidents Cup Ireland team member Athlone's Colm Moriarty won in 2001thus continuing Mullingar's association with Irish golf at its highest level.
