Course History
From 1913 to today
The beginnings of golf in this area date back to 1913 when Portumna Golf Club was formed. The first course was laid out on land rented from farming families of Lynchs, Powers, Glynns, Scullys, Cullens, Callagys, Porters, and Walshs in the townland of Claggernagh, directly across the road from the entrance to the present course. Members kept their horses in stables and left their traps outside a house owned by John Kelly. His sister provided tea for these pioneering members who rented a room from this family to act as a locker room before a clubhouse was erected.
John Wallace, who lived locally was responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the course. Substantial timber stiles with hand rails gave access from one field to another. Subsequently, a clubhouse was erected just inside the entrance to the present course. This Clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 1921 and a Mr James O Brien then provided a house on his land as a replacement clubhouse. This house had previously been used as a schoolhouse for the children of Protestant planters in the area.
