Glasson is a terrific golf course situated beautifully on the eastern shores of Lough Ree near the town of Athlone. Designed by Christy O'Connor Junior, the course is set over rolling terrain where natural water hazards are prominent on many holes while judicous bunkering and tree plantations provide interest on the others. Superbly maintained and presented, Glasson provides large undulating greens that test even the best of putters. Above all, Glasson is a very challenging parkland course that enjoys a quite magnificent panorama. Christy O'Connor Junior once said of his design: "One of the most scenic pieces of land I've ever seen in my life, with the first nine holes overlooking Lough Ree and the second nine Killenure Bay. There is nothing I've seen that comes close to that."
