Stewart Arms Hotel Golf Links, Dunfanhagy, County Donegal. (1886 - 1906)

The course attached to the Stewart Arms Hotel first appeared in 1886.

The Dunfanhagy Golf Club played on the course.

The current Dunfanhagy Golf Club was founded in 1906. 

The following report is from the Derry Journal Saturday 24 April 1886. “The opening match of the season was played on the links belonging to the Stewart Arms Hotel on Tuesday. The weather was all that could have been desired and the greens, having been lately returfed and rolled were in excellent condition.” 

Advert from the Derry Journal in 1893 mentions the Stewart Arms Hotel course.
