When the club affiliated to the Irish Golfers’ Union in 1907, the 9 hole course was at the Decoy, just outside of Naas. It was to move 3 more times finally setting at Kerdiffstown in 1941. During the following years the links has been expanded to a full 18, and the club-house completely transformed. The County Kildare Club is one of the oldest provincial clubs in Ireland, and with increasing years come increasing strength and vitality.
