A century of links golf on the
city’s doorstep

Welcome to the website of The Royal Dublin Golf Club. Located on an island in Dublin Bay, we are a private members club with a warm welcome for visitors from home and abroad. We believe we have one of the finest golf links in Ireland, but really that’s for others – including our visitors - to judge.

The golfing challenge

Originally designed by the renowned architect, Harry Colt, 2006 has seen the completion of the final phase of the magnificent programme of improvement by the doyen of links development, Martin Hawtree. In addition to a radical redesign of the 6th, 7th and 8th holes, over three winters Mr Hawtree has adjusted the architecture of every hole. His team has raised all of the greens, adding beautiful contouring. The course in it's new and challenging form has been open for play since May 1st 2006.

Our treasured location

Bull Island, home to The Royal Dublin Golf Club, is a protected wildlife habitat with a fabulous range of flora and fauna. Despite this, it is only three miles from Dublin city centre. This ensures visitors have the opportunity of high-class links golf and the benefits of entertainment in a major European capital.

Bookings can be made on-line (see booking enquiries page) or by phone to the Chief Executive at 01 833 6346.
