Roscommon Postcards – Athlone.

We do not intend to leave Co. Roscommon, so any postcards for Athlone that we illustrate will either date from before 1898 and show Connaught Street and area (then part of Co. Roscommon) or will be for the Roscommon side of the town. We beg your indulgence with this decision. Athlone is always worth a visit. Why not come and see for yourself.

Note: Copyright rests with the individual photographer, (see notes below). Do not use without permission.

We are always on the look out for additional examples to add to our collection. If you have any postcards (used or unused) that you no longer need please contact us.

01 Athlone Golf Club.

Measuring 6,600 yards from the championship tees, this a mature parkland course of exceptional quality and beauty, which has been host to many important championships including the National Finals of the Cups & Shields in 1998. A spectacular variety of golf shots offers a demanding but fair test for the most accomplished golfer. Excellent Golf Shop and catering facilities with panoramic view of Lough Ree from the clubhouse.
