Background:
The origins of golf in Tuam go back to the early 1900s when two local businessmen holidayed in the town of Harrogate in England. There they became acquainted with the game, purchased clubs and balls and brought them back to Tuam.
[2] Initially located in the townland of Cloonascragh (on land owned by one of the two businessmen), Tuam Golf Club opened in 1904 with 60 members. In 1937 it relocated to the lands of the Kilgarriff family at Mayfield.
In 1948 Christy O'Connor Snr  came to the club as a professional, and gave local golf lessons. In 1951 he was encouraged by friends in Galway and Tuam to play in the British Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club. He finished as leading Irishman in the championship and later that year was invited to take up the position as professional at Bundoran Golf Club.
In 1975 the club moved to its current location at Barnacurragh, with the course designed by Eddie Hackett.
In 1991 a new clubhouse was constructed, with bar, restaurant, changing rooms and a pro-shop. Improvement works continued over the years with Christy O'Connor Jnr advising the club. Other development work undertaken between 2007 and 2009 was under the guidance of golf architect Ken Kearney.
Tuam Golf Club granted full membership to lady members in 1992 and in 2004 allowed Category 1 lady members compete for the Gents President's Prize.
Tuam Golf Club has hosted several championship events over the years, including the Connacht GUI Club finals, and The Irish Open Boys Championship. Tuam Golf Club is now one of the biggest clubs in the West of Ireland with over 500 members.
