Golf Course Information
Description
Firefly Golf Links is the oldest golf course in Clare County. It first opened May 29, 1932 as a 9 hole golf course and was briefly known as the Clare Country Club.
There were no golf carts and the cost to walk 9 holes was 50 cents. Wednesday was ladies day.
Soon it was renamed The Twin Elms and remained that name until around 1974. At that time it was purchased by Ed Balulis and renamed County Clare Golf Course.
In 1985 it was purchased by the current owners and in 1990 renamed Firefly Golf Links . In 1992 Firefly was expanded to 18 holes.
The front nine provides a good mix of tight tree-lined and wide open fairways, allowing the use of a variety of clubs off the tee, including the driver. The back nine is the more difficult of the two nines with a lot of water coming into play and some undulating greens. You must pay close attention to the layout on the score card.
