Golf courses in Dublin & East

Dublin and the East coast is the gateway to Irish golf, home to around 61 clubs spread along the Irish Sea and through the rolling country of Leinster. The region offers a rare mix in a small area: classic links rumpled into the dunes where the land meets the sea, and mature, tree-lined parkland set in the green hinterland behind the coast. With the capital at its centre, this is the most accessible corner of Ireland for a visiting golfer, and many of the courses sit within easy reach of Dublin city and its airport.

What makes the East distinctive is the chance to play firm, breezy seaside golf one day and sheltered parkland the next, all without long transfers between rounds. The coastline north and south of Dublin is studded with links and clifftop holes shaped by the wind off the Irish Sea, while inland clubs offer a gentler, more wooded test. The season runs strongly from spring through autumn, with the famously changeable Irish weather rewarding players who can flight the ball low. Combine the golf with Dublin's pubs, music and history and the East coast makes an ideal first taste of golf in Ireland.
