Dromoland Castle GC

Dromoland Castle GC

Clare

A bewitching parkland course. A spectacular historic setting. A rousing clubhouse welcome. Designed by Ron Kirby & J.B. Carr, the 18-hole, par-72 championship course at Dromoland Castle is a must-play on any Irish golf tour—equal parts beauty and bite. Step into a GPS-equipped buggy or stride the fairways on foot; either way you’re in for epic views, strategic shots, and a finish that begs for one more loop.

Winding through the Castle’s vast estate, Dromoland mixes gentle elevation with ancient trees and clever water to keep you thinking from first tee to final putt. From the back tees it stretches 6,824 yards (men) and 5,242 yards (ladies), with conditioning that shines in every season. Recent history? The course hosted the KPMG Women’s Irish Open in 2022 and 2023—a testament to its championship pedigree.

The Academy

Raise your game at a world-class practice hub: two USGA-spec short-game greens surfaced with the same Penn A4/G6 bentgrass as the course, a 500 m² putting green, and a 450 m² bunker & chipping green—including a riveted-face “Road Hole”-style bunker inspired by St Andrews. Prefer data? Head indoors: the TrackMan simulator room and indoor range bays deliver instant feedback on every swing. Coaching with a resident PGA Professional is available year-round.

Clubhouse Life

Swap stories over a pint or a plate at the Fig Tree Restaurant beside the 18th, then browse the well-stocked Golf Shop before a dip at the nearby leisure facilities. It’s a five-star welcome from first coffee to last nightcap.
