Dromoland Castle

Given the incredible natural landscape of the estate, it was obvious for Kirby to make use of the indigenous features as hazards. As such, the River Rine, and the numerous lakes, marshes and woodland are all obstacles that visiting golfers must negotiate.

For those familiar with Irish golf, Carr and Kirby are also responsible for the awesome Old Head at Kinsale, so it should come as no surprise that since its redevelopment, Dromoland has been elevated into the exclusive group of ‘must play' courses in the country.

With all this on the site of one of the most luxurious estates around, there are few better choices for a fantastic golf break in Ireland.

The newly-established Dromoland Castle Golf Academy is superbly-equipped. During the summer, a large real-grass range is available to test out the conditions as you will find them on the fairways.

Great setting and a beautiful course. All staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Would like to have another go round, and personally would get a buggy, especially if it’s hot, or if you’re playing multiple consecutive courses.

An interesting golf course with good relief and water hazards. The proshop staff were very freindly. The course was not very busy so we were able to get around quite quickly. Second time we have played it and I would highly recommend it.

Probably the best parkland course I've played - up there with Sunningdale Old but less of the heritage perhaps. If this course was in England, it'd be top 20 easily so don't miss this one of you get a chance - greens were at least 9.5/10 and it was quiet too so 3.5hrs for a 3 ball!
