Captains Address

We are truly honoured and delighted to serve as Captains of Craddockstown Golf Club for 2025 and have been overwhelmed by the warmth and support from our fellow members since the start of the year.

Craddockstown Golf Club is nestled in the rapidly growing and picturesque town of Naas. Our parkland course offers a diverse mix of holes, providing a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all levels. The commitment of our greenkeepers, staff, committees and volunteers ensures that our course remains beautifully maintained and in excellent condition, while also fostering a welcoming and friendly club environment. Their efforts are the foundation of our success and we encourage as many as possible to contribute, whether as a volunteer, a committee member or representing our club in our Interclub teams.

As a members owned the course, we have embraced the one club model structure and combined with us achieving the gold standard award for the women in Golf Charter last year, we remain committed to a modern and inclusive future, ensuring fair and equal access for all members across the diverse range of competitions that we offer.

We look forward to competing in this year’s Interclub teams and wishing all participants the best of luck, hopefully bringing home some pennants and trophies on the way.

We continue to offer our highly successful mixed Get into Golf programme which has attracted a significant number of members to our club. Our Junior club continues to thrive, supported by our ongoing mentoring and variety of competitions designed to ensure all juniors can participate in a fun and enjoyable environment.

We are committed to sustainability, preserving our environment and promoting biodiversity to ensure a greener future for our course and community.
We sincerely thank our sponsors and encourage members and visitors to show their appreciation by supporting them whenever possible.
Craddockstown Golf Club prides itself on being a friendly and welcoming club dedicated to providing a memorable and enjoyable experience for both members and visitors. We genuinely value input from all members and encourage suggestions and feedback to enhance all aspects of the club, with every submission carefully considered.

We look forward to meeting both our members and visitors either on the fairways or in the Clubhouse throughout the year. Here’s to an exciting and successful year ahead for Craddockstown Golf Club!
