New Direction For The South County Golf Club
Date: 9th January 2009
On Monday 5th of January 2009 Carr Golf Services formally took on the operational management of South County Golf Club in Brittas Co. Dublin. South County becomes the fourth golf club in the Carr portfolio whose other layouts include the highly popular Elmgreen Golf Club in Castleknock, the much admired Corballis Links in Donabate and the challenging Navan Golf Club in Co. Meath.
Carr Golf Services is a leading provider of business solutions to the golf industry. Founded in 1990, the company provides complete management and operational solutions for a golf facility. This comprises staffing, administration and expertise in marketing through to membership strategy. In 2008 over 525,000 satisfied golfers played on facilities under Carr Golf Services management. This illustrates expertise in bringing together different elements of a marketing mix that accurately portrays the totality of the offering and encourages customers to use the facilities Carr Golf Services manage.
The South County is a golf club of enormous potential as it enjoys a central location that is as easily accessible from Dublin as it is from its neighbouring counties of Wicklow, and Kildare. The 18 hole golf course was built to USGA specifications ensuring that all year round play should be possible and the design aims to meet the needs of golfers of all standards, whilst managing to offer a charming passage through some of the most picturesque countryside in Ireland.
According to CEO of the Carr Group Marty Carr, “Carr Golf Services is delighted to undertake this relationship with South County Golf Club. It really is an excellent facility with some truly memorable holes. We are under no illusions in relation to the tough economic environment that is out there but at the same time we feel that the game is and should always be accessible for most people to play. It is safe to say that over the latter years of the Celtic Tiger playing golf became too expensive in Ireland but in this new era it will be competitively priced golf clubs that will thrive. Value and Quality is what people will be looking for and that is what South County Dublin Golf Club will provide.”
