Cavan Golf Club website: "County Cavan Golf Club was founded in October 1894. Mr. Thomas Lough, afterwards to be M. P. for West Islington, and Under Secretary for Education in the Campbell Bannerman ministry, had laid out a nine-hole course at his Cavan residence at Killynebber, a ten minute walk from the town. At first, it was used only by the Lough family and their political visitors from across the channel, as not for a year or two could any of the local residents be induced to interest themselves in the game. Eventually however, a sufficient number, probably not more than twenty, came together and formed the nucleus of a modest club. By 1896 it had 28 members and A. S. Lough was its President. The course of nine-holes varied in length from 122 to 226 yards. Play was restricted to between the months of October and April. The Club became affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland in 1899.The current layout is an 18-hole Par 70 parkland course which was significantly enhanced in 2004 by the addition of a newly designed back nine with tees and greens to USGA standards under the guidance of architect Arthur Spring and European Golf Services.".
