Ballymascanlon Golf Course

Set in 130 acres of beautiful parkland, this impressive Victorian House forms the heart of this Hotel. Steeped in history, Ballymascanlon estate dates from 833 ad. when it was the seat of the Scanlons of Oriel, Co. Louth. This 'Special Place' built some 150 years, has been transformed to the modern standards of today. Family run with a pride and dedication, there is a genuine interest in ensuring every guest is made to feel at home in an informal and luxurious setting giving them a taste of an era gone by. All your leisure needs are catered for with an 18-hole parkland Golf Course and superb Health Club where you can truly relax and unwind. One of the many treasures to be found on the grounds is the 4,000 year old Proleek Stone, which never fails to amaze visitors. Scholars and scientist alike are still puzzled as to how the ancient inhabitants manage to raise a forty-six ton capstone on such seemly fragile supports. This wealth of history combined with the panoramic view provided by the Hotel's gardens and parklands, the surrounding national forests and mountain ranges ensures that there is something for everyone at Ballymascanlon.
