In 1916 a number of citizens of Monaghan town decided to start a golf club. They approached the right Honourable Derrick Warner William, fifth Lord Baron Rossmore with a request that he should lease them part of his demesne. A meeting, over which Lord Rossmore presided, was held in the Westenra Arms Hotel on the 16th of August 1916 and Rossmore Golf Club was formed.

The original course was nine holes but it was extended to 18 holes in 1992. Since then several holes have been re-designed to make more use of the many lakes and streams and rivers throughout the course. Now with so many challenging holes it has championship potential and will test the best of golfers.
