Festival of Foxhills - Celebrating 50 years on Saturday 12th July

Foxhills first opened its doors on 1st July 1975 after being acquired by Aer Lingus and turned into a golf club. Fast forward 50 years and the club has evolved into an award-winning country club and we're excited to mark the occasion, and how far we've come, in style with our members this summer...

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of Foxhills with a big family event across the entire resort showcasing everything that Foxhills is today. Every department will be involved with activities, entertainment, competitions and challenges across golf, racquets, fitness, spa, Pavilion and the restaurants. We'll also have pop-up bars, barbeques and live music throughout the day and into the evening. 

This is your chance to socialise, exercise and try something new - all in one day! We'll be celebrating everything that is great about the club and being a member here and you're invited! We're hoping every member will join us either for the entire day or at some point during the festival.

So we can get an idea of numbers, please RSVP below if you are planning to attend on the day:
