Three times host venue World Deaf Golf Championships 2018 World Amateur Team Championships 2018 HISTORY OF SETTING

Carton House, set on over 1,100 private acres of sweeping parkland was once the ancestral home of the Earls of and the Dukes of . Ancient woodlands, lakes and the meandering River Rye create the perfect backdrop for an awe-inspiring country mansion and golf courses.

This walled estate is steeped in the history of times past. While Carton House was built in 1739, Lady Emily Fitzgerald is credited for shaping the remarkable canvas that envelops our two championship golf courses. Working with landscape gardeners to restructure the grounds in the fashionable ‘naturalist’ style, her work became the model for many other Irish estates.

Today our championship golf courses are primed for fresh victories. We celebrate those who have gone before and the modern heroes of Irish golf. Main House
