Below is a report on the “Island for Sale” and evidence of the eighteen-hole golf course in 1910.
In 1986, after a gap of 60 years, a nine-hole course was laid out by local golfers Alastair Brown and green-keeper John Wright. This course was located at Tarbert Farm.
In 1988 a move was made to the current location at Drumeonbeg Farm, Alistair and John again laying out the nine-hole course.
