7. November 2023
Golfing Around Dublin is a short golf blog that looks at what is on offer around this magnificent city in Ireland.
If you have never played golf in Ireland then you are missing truly out.
There is something for everyone from Parkland Golf to Links Golf, Dublin has it all.
From The Island GC & Portmarnock Golf Links to the K Club and Carton House, there are courses for every budget and requirement.
So without further ado, let me introduce you to my top five.
Jameson Golf Links
Top 10 Courses in and around Dublin.
Portmarnock Golf Club
Located on a tongue of land, just a short drive northeast of Dublin. This course is always in the top 3 Links to play in Ireland.
There are 3 loops of 9 holes with Red & Blue making up the Old Links. The Yellow Loop is also well worth a game.

Top 5 Accommodation Providers
Carton House
As you can see from the image above, the hotel is breathtaking. It sits on a piece of land that is over 1000 acres in size.
It’s a 5-star luxury hotel with stunning guest rooms, restaurants, bars and a wonderful Spa.
Well worth every penny (or cent).
K Club
There are rooms, suites and lodges to choose from at this luxurious hotel resort.
5-star accommodation as well as several restaurants and bars and a lovely Spa.
I can highly recommend it.
Portmarnock Golf Hotel
Excellent location which is surrounded by Links Golf. It is only a short drive to many golf courses.
If I am honest, it is a little tired, here and there but they are lined up for a large refurbishment after their rebranding in October 2023.
Recommended to all golfers.
White Sands Hotel
If you are looking for more down-to-earth affordable accommodation, then this is it.
Great location that is within easy reach of all the top golf courses around Dublin.
It has more of an Inn vibe with decent bar snacks and pub food.
