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
Fantastic course, really well layed out. Some short but tricky holes. Great plotters course

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.
Brilliant Course
Excellent value for money. Course was in good condition. Only issue was that there could be more signs up to show next tee box.
Good Day Had. Course very good considering we had so mush rain previous 4 days.
No Showers in Clubhouse Messed up the Day.
Great value
Delightfully surprised at how good it was. Greens were very good. Course was fairly short and score able. Really really impressed by the greens. The fairways were very firm and everything rolled out but really good day our
good course
greens great condition, few bare patches on fairways but no problems overall
Nice course
A nice course,plenty of trouble if not straight, I thought there were to many water hazards, and bushes were nearly impossible to find your ball.
after hole three there was signage to the next hole i took the tee besides the gree it was wrong
