Dun Laoghaire Golf Club: Located here at Ballyman Glen since 2007, the club is home to a modern, scenic and pleasantly testing championship course. The large and stylish clubhouse, one of the most impressive in Ireland, grandly complements the course.
Situated south of Dublin, close to the border between the counties of Dublin and Wicklow, the 27-hole layout allows any combination of three nine-hole loops to be played. Here on the Upper, Middle and Lower nines, you'll be tested by a big-dimension championship layout. Partly tree-lined, but often quite open, several holes are defended by water, and most by an abundance of large clover-leaf bunkering.
In its quiet and naturally undulating rural setting, you are treated to lovely views onto the surrounding rural countryside and across to the pointed peaks and rounded tops of the Wicklow Mountains.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Founded in 1909 as Kingstown Golf Club, the club name was was changed in 1922 to Dun Laoghaire (Kingstown) Golf Club and finally, after an acrimonious debate in 1951, Kingstown was finally removed. In the summer of 2007, the 102-year-old club moved from Dun Laoghaire, in the suburbs of Dublin, to its current location at Ballyman Glen.
The club hosted the 2016 Curtis Cup, in which the top women amateurs of GB&I beat those of the USA by a margin of 11.5 to 8.5.
