In 2011 and 2012, the golf club also hosted the PGA Europro Audi Cork Irish Masters. The Fota Island Resort not only offers championship courses of international caliber, but also an incredible amount of variety with its 27-hole course.

The Fota Island Resort was designed in 1993 by Irish Ryder Cup star Christy O'Connor Jr. and English amateur champion Peter McEvoy. In 2000, the course was redesigned by golf architect Jeff Howes.
