Course Description:
Luttrellstown Castle Golf & Country Club is situated within a 560-acre walled estate, just twenty minutes from Dublin City Centre. This 18-hole championship course, host to the Guardian Irish Open in 1997, offers an excellent test of golf for all handicaps. Bordered by mature woods with panoramic views over the Liffey Valley and the Dublin Mountains, the exceptionally well-manicured course is now renowned as one of Dublin's finest. The 3rd, 7th and 12th are the signature holes as water comes into play, although every hole offers its own challenge. The unique, log constructed clubhouse offers a friendly welcome to all visitors. The bright, airy restaurant and bar serves excellent food. A large pro shop stocks an extensive range of high-quality merchandise. Societies are welcome and group rates are available.
Voted the No. 28-ranked golf course in Ireland, by “Golf Digest Ireland” in 2008. Luttrellstown Castle Golf & Country Club was voted No. 16 Parkland/Inland Course in Ireland by "Backspin" Irelands leading Golf magazine in 2008, the panel comprised of a selection of 52 Professional and amateur golfers throughout Ireland.
