Eamonn O’Donnell’s appointment comes as Dromoland Castle opens it’s new 900 sq ft Golf Shop at the Golf Club, elevating the guest and golfer experience at the 5 Star Resort.

Dromoland Castle opened the doors to its brand-new Golf Shop on Monday 13th May 2019, marking the completion of a series of investments at the luxury hotel and golf resort in Co. Clare

The 900 sq ft addition to the golf club has expansive, sweeping views of the 1st, 10th and famous 18th holes, and the breath-taking Dromoland Lake. Spearheading the enhanced golf experience at the resort, Dromoland Castle has appointed Eamonn O’Donnell as the New Director of Golf.

Eamonn, who previously held similar roles at Mount Wolseley Golf Club, Waterford Castle and Druids Glen, will oversee the team at Dromoland Castle in driving forward the golf experience for both members and visitors to the castle.

The Golf Shop will carry the latest golf apparel and merchandise, with a Dromoland Castle branded range from internationally renowned brands such as KJUS, Galvin Green, Fairway & Greene, Daily Sports Sweden, Peter Millar, Oscar Jacobson and Duca del Cosma leather footwear. The shop also stocks top brand golf balls, gloves, tees and additional golf accessories from top sporting brands including Adidas Golf, Footjoy and PING Golf.

The new shop completes the full-scale €20 million refurbishment at the Castle. Included in the extensive refurbishments were; Castle guest rooms and bathrooms, Queen Anne Wing, dining and lounge areas, all public spaces, Spa at Dromoland Castle, indoor pool, air conditioning units, a new water treatment system, as well as window refurbishments and stone façade repairs. Acclaimed Irish painter, John Brennan, was commissioned for the artwork in the guestrooms; the Celtic inspired paintings are unique, with each gold leaf applied by hand.
