Castle Golf Club

Designed by well-known course architect Harry Colt, this 18-hole parkland course lies in the south Dublin suburb of Rathfarham, which is about five miles out of the city centre. It's an undulating course, with tight fairways lined by trees. Colt's creation includes five par-3s and three not-too-demanding par-5s.

The course, which measures 6272 yards and has a par of 70, enjoys superb views of the Dublin Mountains and there's excellent practice facilities if you want to sharpen up your game before heading out. And, once you've finished your round, you can choose from a full a la carte or snack menu in restaurant. 18 hors 6272 yards par 70.
