The earliest structured golf at Waterville has been traced back to 1889 and it was a formalized part of village life by 1900, when Waterville became one of the first clubs to be affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland. Immediately before and after World War II, Waterville Golf Club enjoyed a very high profile but the links lay virtually dormant through the latter part of the 1960's until the arrival of John A. Mulcahy, an Irish born American who came with the vision of building the most testing golf links in the world. Mulcahy teamed up with renowned Irish architect Eddie Hackett and between them they have produced a course that ranks among the finest in the world.
