Balcarrick August 20

Beautiful day for golf on a well maintained course considering how little rain there has been these past few weeks. Great run on the ball for sweetly hit shots.

Great course, long and good upkeeping

Actually a very nice course, first time here, we could not get a cart so walked the whole course. It is long course and for someone new, there are couple holes we need to search a bit for the tee. Green is in good condition. Friendly players and staffs around.

Balcarrick GC - 14 Aug 2025

Beautiful sunny day on a golf course full of challenge and wildlife to view. Greens in excellent condition. The White tee boxes were a little uneven. Very enjoyable experience with good company. The Fish & Chips in the clubhouse after the game also worth a mention with very friendly staff.

Great laughs banter and golf was had by all.

Great round of golf and even better company as I met 2 other lads who had also booked to play Balcarrick on the GolfNow app and we had great chats and craic over the entire round. Course was in excellent condition and the greens were fast but in immaculate condition and the weather was good too. Thanks Dean and Stephen for the pleasure of your company I really enjoyed the laughs your company and the golf wasn't too bad either.

Booked a round at Balcarrick GC on the Golf Now app for the following morning as it was a good price and deal. Unfortunately when I arrived at Balcarrick for my 10.50am tee time on Mon 21/07/2025 the course was closed due to heavy rain overnight and I never actually got out to play the course. Went home a bit disappointed but that's Irish summer weather for you I suppose. Hopefully I will get a refund back to my Golf Now account anyway. ☔💧💦🙄

Wee gem.

Arrived early to get some food and received a great welcome from the staff. Food arrived quick and was exceptional value Pro shop small but well stocked. Pro was very friendly. Pace of play not really too bad considering a society was out first. Course in great condition and greens are the best I've played this year.

Great value and will 100% be back again.

Stunning course

Have played here a few times as a visitor and enjoy it every time. Challenging course and very well maintained.

It was a busy day in the course hence the pace of play was a bit slower than I would have liked but can’t be helped when the sun was out in force.

Excellent afternoon

Booked via the app for a game whilst in Dublin for the weekend.

We had a brilliant afternoon on a superb course, with some challenging holes and tricky greens.

Everyone we spoke to whilst here were very welcoming and friendly, and this made the whole experience a highlight of our trip

Warm welcome, lots of water!

We lost quite a few balls to the water but the wildlife was worth it. The course was very natural. The members were so friendly and warm. No map on the score card but well signposted. Would love to play again.
