Dun Laoghaire Golf Club: Located here at Ballyman Glen since 2007, the club is home to a modern, scenic and pleasantly testing championship course. The large and stylish clubhouse, one of the most impressive in Ireland, grandly complements the course.
Situated south of Dublin, close to the border between the counties of Dublin and Wicklow, the 27-hole layout allows any combination of three nine-hole loops to be played. Here on the Upper, Middle and Lower nines, you'll be tested by a big-dimension championship layout. Partly tree-lined, but often quite open, several holes are defended by water, and most by an abundance of large clover-leaf bunkering.
In its quiet and naturally undulating rural setting, you are treated to lovely views onto the surrounding rural countryside and across to the pointed peaks and rounded tops of the Wicklow Mountains.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Founded in 1909 as Kingstown Golf Club, the club name was was changed in 1922 to Dun Laoghaire (Kingstown) Golf Club and finally, after an acrimonious debate in 1951, Kingstown was finally removed. In the summer of 2007, the 102-year-old club moved from Dun Laoghaire, in the suburbs of Dublin, to its current location at Ballyman Glen.
The club hosted the 2016 Curtis Cup, in which the top women amateurs of GB&I beat those of the USA by a margin of 11.5 to 8.5.
Ireland's 65th best course (Golf World, 2023).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
