LATEST: Golf course land in Tipperary will be placed on the market
Directors of Slievenamon Golf Club take 'difficult decision'
The directors of the company that own Slievenamon Golf Club, near Lisronagh, between Clonmel and Fethard, have announced that “the business of running the golf club is not sustainable and we have made the difficult decision to place the land comprising the golf course on the market and sell it as agricultural land”.
In a letter to club members, Brian Powell and Mary Hand stated “We intend to retain the clubhouse building and Adventure Centre and will continue to operate the café and function room, and to develop the Adventure Centre further.
“While we plan to keep the course open for distance memberships and green fees for the time being, and will honour all existing full memberships until the end of March this year, we will not be renewing full memberships for 2025.
“Members who have already paid for 2025 will receive a full refund.
“We understand that our decision will disappoint many of you, but please know that we have done everything possible over the last seven years to make the club viable.
“We are deeply grateful to all of you for your support during this time, especially those who have been regular users of the course, café, Adventure Course and other facilities.
“We would be delighted to see you continue to use the course through green fees after March for as long as it remains open, and you are always welcome to call out to the café or simply meet up in the clubhouse for a coffee and a chat.
“We have no doubt you will find an alternative club locally that will enable you to maintain the friendships you have formed in Slievenamon, and to continue your love of the game".
