Galway Bay Golf (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Galway Bay Golf?
Children are permitted, yet there is no playground, no junior programme, and a four-hour round demands quiet patience, so most kids under 12 will get bored or restless quickly.
Positives:
- Bay Views from Clubhouse: Kids can watch sailboats and seabirds from the terrace.
- Equipment Rentals on Site: Pull trolleys, buggies and full sets are available by the Pro Shop.
Challenges:
- No Playground: There is no dedicated play area; children must stay near adults.
- Uneven Terrain: Course paths have hills and ditches—hold hands on slopes.

Lawrence Nunn
My wife and I chose to come to the golf resort on spec, while exploring the area. We were welcomed very kindly and chose a light selection from the menu. It was promptly served and beautifully presented. The view was spectacular and the ambience warm and convivial. Thank you very much. Highly recommended. Lawrence Nunn

Beautiful golf course, conditions were perfect, I quit keeping score after losing 8 balls. Had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff were knowledgeable and took care to ensure we were taken care of from start to finish. The 2 iron grill was a great way to finish the round.

I was there for my birthday without a booking. Shane and Tati were so lovely with us, desserts were tasty and the view unbelievable. We will come back soon.
