Christy O'Connor Jr

Profile

A legendary Irish golfer turned course designer, Christy O’Connor Jr was an outstanding player and as a designer was responsible for creating courses like Glasson in central Ireland and the Galway Bay Golf Resort on the Irish West Coast. Neither of these layouts display the sort of strategic nous that one might have expected of a leading designer from this country.

O’Connor Jr sadly passed away in 2016, after a fairly prolific design career on the European mainland.
