Paddy Merrigan was commissioned to re-design the course to incorporate 18 new USGA standard greens and provide new teeing ground for various categories of golfers. Merrigan, with the aid of Tom Bryan as contractor excelled in the challenge and provided Oughterard with an end product that will challenge the best.
