The Course Crew

Joe Bedford trained at the Royal Dublin Golf Club; he then became the head greenkeeper at St. Anne's Golf Club. In 1991, he joined Hollystown and oversaw the final completion of the original development.

- Past Chairman of Federation of European Golf Greenkeepers Association (FEGGA 2001- 2005)
- Past President of Golf Course Superintendents Association of Ireland (GCSAI 1997-1999)
- Member of the Environmental Programmes Committee of the Golf Course Superintendents Associations of America (GCSAA 2004)
- Member of the Irish Greenkeeper Training and Ecology Committee of the Golfing Union of Ireland (1994-to present date).
Joe Bedford and his staff strive to maintain the course in excellent condition year-round
