The Glenroyal Hotel
Set in the lively university town of Maynooth, The Glenroyal Hotel is a smart 4-star base for a Dublin and Kildare golf break. You're a straightforward hop from the capital for a big night out, but far enough out to enjoy a quieter pint and an easy morning run to the first tee. Maynooth Rail Station and regular bus routes make getting in and out of Dublin simple, while Dublin Airport is under an hour by road for most arrival times.
Inside, the hotel has 126 comfortable rooms and one of the best leisure set-ups you'll find at this level, including two 20-metre heated indoor pools, a well-equipped gym and the Noa Spa & Wellness centre. That combination works brilliantly for groups who want a warm-down after 18 holes, couples looking to mix golf with spa time and anyone travelling with a non-golfer who still wants plenty to do.
Food and drink is covered on site too. The Arkle Bar is the easy choice for something relaxed after your round, while The Enclosure Restaurant is the step-up option for a smarter dinner, led by Michelin-trained Executive Head Chef Bernard McGuane with a focus on local, seasonal produce.
Maynooth has plenty of character, from the historic university grounds to a strong line-up of pubs and cafés. As a base, it puts you in range of standout parkland golf across Kildare and easy access to the wider Dublin region when you want to tick off a headline venue.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a comfortable Kildare base with quality leisure facilities, easy access to Dublin and plenty of strong parkland golf within a short drive.
Who is it best for?
Couples and small groups planning a flexible Dublin and Kildare itinerary, with spa time, good food and a lively town for the evenings.

Accommodation at The Glenroyal Hotel
Rooms at The Glenroyal Hotel are designed with short golf breaks in mind: comfortable beds, good bathrooms and enough space to spread out kit without living out of a suitcase. The hotel's 126 rooms cover everything from compact doubles for quick one or two-night trips to larger family and group-friendly options.
Standard Rooms are a solid, no-fuss base with the essentials you need between rounds, including en-suite bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee facilities and a flat-screen TV. If your priority is maximum golf for your money, these do the job nicely.
Superior Rooms give you a bit more breathing space, which makes a difference when you've got golf bags, waterproofs and shoes to dry out. Expect a slightly higher finish and a more comfortable layout for longer stays or couples who want the trip to feel more like a break, not just somewhere to sleep.
Family Rooms are a practical option for mixed groups. They're typically set up for up to four guests using a combination of doubles and additional beds. For golfers travelling with non-golfers, they also unlock the hotel's biggest selling point off the course, the leisure club. Two 20-metre heated pools are great for a loosen-up after 18, while the gym has plenty of cardio and resistance kit plus a strong free-weight area for anyone keeping their routine going on tour.
If you want to build recovery into your trip, the Noa Spa & Wellness centre is a real bonus. A sports massage the evening before your big round can be a game changer, especially if you're playing a busy itinerary across Kildare and Dublin.
