About
Although the climate gives away the location, the Golf Club of Dublin is a more authentic interpretation of the traditional links of its Irish namesake than most other replicas you'll find. The flat terrain, which was formerly a cornfield, was transformed into an enjoyable linksland layout covered with tall, sweeping heather and hundreds of yards of hand-stacked stone walls. The gently rolling fairways are generous and the classic, square-shaped greens are enormous and fast. In keeping with a true links golf course, there are nearly 80 steep, sod-walled bunkers waiting treacherously by the fairways and greensides to swallow up errant shots. Depending on the sun, the shadows cast over the bunkers can play tricks on your eyes, making them appear deceptively deeper or shallower. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes at the Golf Club of Dublin.

Great Course!
The Golf Club of Dublin is in great shape already this year. The rough is very high and penal for sure.
Great shape this early
Really enjoyed the day at Golf Club of Dublin. It was cart path only, and we waited for the group ahead of us on almost every shot. Other than that, the course was in great shape for March 9th, the greens were pretty quick and rolled well.
Great Track
Was in town for a few days and was able to get out as a single. First round coming out of winter. Course was wet and CPO. Even with how wet it was the conditions were great. The greens were slow, but that was to be expected. you can tell in prime season it is upper tier public track for the money. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
The Geese Club of Dublin has nothing but droppings everywhere. Disgusting
Pricey
Pretty sure all the greens fees go to the water bill. Can't remember the last time it rained and the front of every green was unplayable it was so wet. Have never had so many plugged balls and wet socks on this dry of a week. No one monitors pace of play and the greens are just ok for the price.
Great course!
Have played here many times, never disappointed. Pace was great today and course was in good shape for the most part. Will be back!
GREAT Condition!
The staff at the Golf Club of Dublin has done a phenomenal job of keeping the course is great shape. Other courses are struggling to keep up during this heat wave, but GCOD is awesome! Very impressed.
This course is greedy and does not care about their employees or customers AT ALL.
This course is nice, but not $80-$100 for a tee time nice. DO NOT play here if you don’t want to deal with un-fixed divots in the fairway, un-fixed pitch marks all over the greens in every putt line, and poorly cared for bunkers to the point where there has been wasp nests in multiple bunkers on the course (also not raked 80% of the time). The rough is also very inconsistent, with some parts feeling like you’re playing at Oakmont for the US Open and some feeling like a regular public golf courses rough.
I also heard a conversation between a member and the director of golf, where the member was complaining to him about the amount of divots in the fairway and the director of golf’s response was “a corporate guy told me divots mean dollar bills”, implying that he and the owners of the course do not care about the condition of the course and only the money. Which is pathetic, they are doing the bare minimum to keep people happy enough to play the course.
They also do not truly respect veterans, military, and first responders. For 4th of July, they put a lot of American flags up but took them straight out of the package and put them up. They did no preparation for the flags and when they took them down they ROLLED them around the poles they were on and they have been sitting in a corner in the cart barn since.
To add on top of this, the management and corporate do not care about their employees especially the cart barn employees. While the cart barn employees are paid minimum wage ($10.70/hour) and get no tips, but the other positions mostly start at $15-$18 an hour.
The course also EXCEEDS the amount of money they need to profit every day, which is around $14,000. I believe they usually make $20,000-$30,000 every single day. Even on off days, they still break profit. All of that money pretty much goes to the corporate guys.
This golf club may seem like it has things figured out, but they truly do not have it figured out. They are just getting by with the bare minimum, and only attracts the people that have money. It used to be $50 for 18 and a cart when it was privately owned but now it is significantly more and it is not worth it. They also do not allow people to pay for only walking, people are forced to pay for a cart regardless of whether they want to use one or not.
They fool people with being able to keep the course green and somewhat nice, but they can improve on A LOT of things.
The point is, it’s not worth the amount you have to pay to play this course. Sure it’s not, but not $80-$100 nice
Fun to Play
Enjoyed playing here for my first links style experience. Course is beautiful. Pub was fun after with friendly folks working. A little overpriced but not terrible. Great experience overall. Hope to play again next time I'm in the area
