Greenore Golf Club was built by the London & North Western Railway Company which at this time co-owned the railway and the hotel. The golf course was first opened with 12 holes in October 1896 and the following year was extended to 18 holes. Its purpose was for recreation for the hotel guests and to generate passenger travel on the railway for people to play golf from both Dundalk and Newry.
In 1902 the Railway Company organised a Pro Tournament with top pro golfers in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland invited. Amongst those playing were Harry Vardon, James Braid, J.H. Taylor, J. Herd & J White who between them had won 18 British Open Titles. Braid was the eventual winner of the competition.
