Golf courses in County Dublin

County Dublin has a quality that few other golf destinations in the world can offer: a capital city of extraordinary character within twenty minutes of some of the finest links golf in Europe. You can spend the morning at the Guinness Storehouse or Trinity College Library and be standing on the first tee at Portmarnock by early afternoon. Portmarnock Golf Club is one of the most celebrated links courses in the world — host of multiple Irish Opens and for decades among the top courses in Europe according to our community. Royal Dublin Golf Club on the Bull Island is slightly more accessible and no less enjoyable, with a classic links layout that rewards precision over power. The Island Golf Club, tucked away on a peninsula in the Broadmeadow estuary, is the one that those in the know speak most warmly about — remote, largely uncommercialized and playing as pure a links as you will find anywhere. Dublin Airport has excellent connections from across Europe and the Netherlands. The city itself ensures there is never a shortage of things to do in the evening. Greenfees at the top courses are fair for the quality on offer. Tee times at most County Dublin courses are easy to book online via Leading Courses.
