Dublin Golf Courses & Portmarnock Links
 |
Portmarnock |
| Portmarnock Links Architect: B. Langer 18 holes: 6195m: Par 71 Initially open terrain with little shelter from the ever present sea breeze makes the front nine a stern test of long straight hitting. Along the back the hummocks and hillocks slowly grow around you and build towards the climactic finale down the funnel of dunes. |
|
 |
The Island |
The K Club (Palmer course) N.B. Don't forget the other 18 holes of the K-Club: the inland links of the Smurfit course. |
|
 |
Co. Louth Architect: T. Simpson 18 holes: 6113m: Par 73 100% links from start to finish. Often overlooked but more than worth the drive from Dublin. One of our favourite Irish courses. |
| Royal Dublin Architect: H. Colt 18 holes: 6281m: Par 72 Eire's only "Royal" course speaks volume's of its history. On a spit of land (Bull Island) projecting into Dublin bay. Classic test of golf, pot bunkers, ditches and hummocks abound. Recently strengthened by a slight redesign of several holes. |
|
 |
St. Margaret‘s |
| Luttrellstown Castle Architect: N. Bielenberg 18 holes: 6384m: Par 72 A tranquil beauty through the established forests of the majestic castle. |
|
 |
St. Anne's Architect: The Members 18 holes: 5669m: Par 70 A shorter, true links in every sense as it shares the sandy soil of Bull Island with its grander neighbour: Royal Dublin. |
| Malahide Architect: E. Hackett. 18 + 9 holes: 6066m: Par 71 Cunning parkland course, that has recently had a lot of time and money spent on its presentation; it is now in top condition. Three loops of nine holes with water hazards, a few blind shots, elevated greens and always a good buzz in the Clubhouse. |
