County Louth Golf Club or "Baltray" as it is more
affectionately known is situated 7km (4 miles) from the
historic town of Drogheda at the mouth of the river
Boyne. With the river to the south and the Irish Sea to
the east. This is Links golf at is very best, with only
the muted murmur of a ships engine to break the sounds
of nature, as it quietly wends its way up river to the
port.
Built on a generous site, the course has become noted
for brilliant presentation by its greens staff and for
the hospitality of its members. Whilst the origins of
the Club date from a meeting in October of 1892, the
current championship links was designed in 1938 by the
renowned Tom Simpson. The course is laid out in two
loops covering some 190 acres.
In 2003 the firm of Donald Steel and Company
undertook a course upgrade under the guidance of Tom
MacKenzie, himself an undoubted fan of Simpson's work.
The changes although minimal have had a significant
impact on the course and with the addition of some new
Tees "Baltray" now measures over 7,000 yards.
