Headfort Golf Club

Headfort Golf Club sits in County Meath, just outside Dublin, and it's one of the handiest ways to add quality inland parkland golf to an Ireland itinerary. With two championship courses on the same estate, it's a smart pick for Dublin-based breaks where you want variety without stretching the drive. From the city centre you're looking at roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic, and it's the sort of day trip that feels well worth it once you're on the first tee.

The setting is classic Irish parkland. Expect mature trees framing generous landing areas, bunkering that asks you to pick a side and greens that reward a tidy approach and sharp distance control. The big advantage for golf groups is choice. You can play one course today and swap it out tomorrow, or split a society across both and meet back up afterwards for a well-earned pint and a post-round feed.

If you're building a multi-course schedule, Headfort pairs brilliantly with coastal links around Dublin and the east coast. It gives you a different test, a different look and a more sheltered round if the wind is doing what it often does in Ireland. We can help slot it into a Dublin base with tee times and timings that keep the trip running smoothly, so you can focus on the golf rather than the logistics.

Who is this for?
Golfers basing themselves in Dublin who want a quality parkland day out, or a two-day add-on that balances links rounds on the coast.

Who is it best for?
Groups and societies who'll make the most of a twin-course venue, plus mid to low handicappers who enjoy plotting their way round tree-lined holes and well-defended greens.
