Howth Golf Club

Howth Golf Club perches dramatically on the Howth Head peninsula, one of the most scenic golfing settings in all of Ireland. The course is a heathland and clifftop layout that takes full advantage of the peninsula's rugged terrain, with sweeping views across Dublin Bay, Ireland's Eye, and on clear days across to the Mourne Mountains in the north. The natural heathland vegetation — heather, gorse, and wild grasses — gives Howth a raw, elemental quality rarely found so close to a capital city. Accurate driving is essential, as wayward shots are punished by the unforgiving rough and the dramatic drops on cliff-adjacent holes. This is a course of genuine character that rewards the well-prepared visitor.
