Aughnacloy: Golf, Mills and Architectural History

If you’re looking for a hotel in Aughnacloy, you can first decide what to focus on during your trip: golf, the Sliabh Beagh Way or local history. Aughnacloy Golf Club has a nine-hole parkland course; the Sliabh Beagh Way is part of the Ulster Way. The mill and the listed historic buildings offer a different, history-focused perspective on the town.

Golf and the Way

Aughnacloy Golf Club has a nine-hole parkland course with 18 different tee boxes. The number of holes and the number of tee boxes refer to different features, so these figures should not be confused when planning a round. Course details may change over time. Check them before making concrete plans to play.

The club offers the “Get into Golf” junior programme for 10- to 16-year-olds. If you’re considering this option for a trip with young people, confirm that it will be running during your planned dates before booking. This will help you check that the age range matches your travel dates.

The Sliabh Beagh Way is part of the Ulster Way. This identifies the named route’s place within the wider network; by contrast, the golf club is described in terms of its number of holes and tee boxes. These are different aspects to consider when planning your trip, and you can prioritise them according to your interests.

Mill History

Robert McCreedy converted the mill into a motorised scutching mill in 1919. The mill, which had previously closed, was renovated in 1998 as part of a C.R.I.S.P. project. Today, the building is the McCreedy Mill Centre, managed by the Aughnacloy Development Association. The dates mark different stages: 1919 for the conversion and 1998 for the later renovation. If you’re planning to visit the Centre, check access in advance.

The church became known as St. James in 1736.
