A new clubhouse was erected in 1896 on the site of the present building. The footprint was 57 X 47 feet with timber walls and corrugated iron roof. Accommodation consisted of club room, lunch room, bar, two changing rooms, kitchen and workshop for the professional. The verandah faced the first fairway. This structure was destroyed by fire in 1905 and replaced  the following year The new structure was larger with a bar replacing the former club room and was further extended in 1927 prior to the holding of the first of eighteen Irish Open Championships.  In 1955 the Locker room and shower area were extended and a separate Professional shop was constructed beside the first tee. A new Gate Lodge was constructed in the same year and the first occupant was the Head Green keeper of the time, John Temple. It is now occupied by the present Head Green keeper Gary Johnstone. In the same year the committee agreed to install a television set on a trial basis.
