This state-of-the art facility incorporates 10 spacious driving bays, an abundance of targets and top quality range balls. The Athy Driving Range is open for 12 hours per day Monday-Sunday (10am-10pm) ensuring that there is always time for you to pop in and hit a basket of balls.
There are plenty of options available from the €2 Warm-Up Basket right up to the €8 Super Jumbo Token. Due to its proximity to Athy Golf Clubs 1st Tee, the €2 warm-up basket is ideal for members & guests to loosen up before they play - research has shown that warming-up before you play can have a beneficial effect on your performance.
Athy Driving Range has all the ancillary facilities that you come to expect in a top-class range. In addition, after daylight hours, our high-powered lighting system will illuminate the balls of even the longest hitter.
The range is located adjacent to Athy Golf Club where a cup of coffee, a meal or drinks are always available.
As part of our plans to develop the facilities we offer to Members and Visitors alike we decided in March 2007 to convert our Committee Room into a Golf Shop. Our Caterer at the time, Jonathan Dick was awarded the first contract to run this shop and we were very pleased at the outcome.
The daily running of the shop was left to one of his staff, Audrone. When Jonathan moved towards the end of 2009 we were very pleased that she was offered the golf shop franchise at the club.
Audrone sources her stock from many suppliers, in particular our good friend Aidan Colgan of Colgan Sports. 
We in the club have the added bonus in that Audrone looks after the administration of our Men’s Club and Open Competitions, she will handle your “time sheet” calls and she will take your entry on the day of the competitions.
Audrone is a great asset to us at the club and all of us are assured of a friendly greeting as she takes our entry fees.
As she develops her business she will continue to extend the range of golf clothing and accessories for sale in the shop and of course you can also purchase drinks and snacks before your round – tea/coffee and sandwiches are also available. This service is particularly useful if you are an early morning golfer.
Gift Vouchers are also available in the Golf Shop and of course you can pre order more expensive items if you pay an agreed deposit to Audrone.
In the normal course of events Green Fees are paid in the bar. However you can also pay Green Fees in the golf shop if you are going out for a game before bar opening hours.
It is also good to have Audrone in the shop on those days when we are wondering if frost snow or fog is around and we are unsure if the course is open. We can contact her on these days at either of the phone numbers shown below.
Shop Opening Hours from March 1st to October 31st are as follows:
Mon, Wed, Thu & Fri: 8 am to 4 pm
Tue, Sat & Sun: 7 am to 5 pm.
All other times are by arrangement only.
Shop Opening Hours from November 1st to February 28th are as follows:
Competition days to facilitate the time sheets and on other days as required.
So whether you are a member, a visitor in any of our Open Events we invite you to visit the shop. Audrone would also encourage visiting Societies or Classics to buy some or all of your prizes from her.

Left, you can see a few recent photographs of Audrone and her shop and once more we would encourage you to support the club by supporting the Golf Shop. We are very happy to see her behind the desk in the shop because we know she is a great asset to us at the club and she provides a great service to members and visitors alike.
Athy Golf Club was formed in 1906 as a nine hole course and was extended to 18 holes in 1993. The course had a Par of 71 and it extended to 6,400 yards from the medal tees.
The Pre-Building Period
Like many of the older Golf Clubs in Ireland, a galvanized cabin type pavilion served the needs of our club for over sixty years. Have a look at the picture above taken in 1937 to see what we mean by the galvanized structure.
