2025 Open Days

A LOOK BACK ON THE 2025 OPEN DAYS

Our 2025 Open Days brought golfers from near and far to experience Galway Bay Golf at its finest. Across six competitive and enjoyable days — April 21, May 5, June 2, June 30, August 4, and September 1 — players took to the fairways in men’s and ladies’ categories, each event filled with great golf, good company, and a shared love of the game. The season concluded with the Grand Final on September 27, where our overall winner earned a 2026 membership at Galway Bay Golf — a prize that promises to be the most prestigious yet, aligning with the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated opening of The Hawthorn by Galway Bay Hotel in 2026.
