Nice flat track
Second time playing here, nice flat track with not too many challenging holes. Back nine tougher than front, first few holes are nice easy introduction into the course before it gets slightly more difficult. Greens is good condition.

Beautiful golf course
Third time playing this course and it never disappoints. Played in on the warmest day of the autumn and we had a great time.
Well presented course, great greens and it’s a reasonably tough test in breezy conditions.
All 4 of us shot great scores and everyone enjoyed the course. Thank you.
One of the better courses in Dublin
Very good course , greens are in very good condition. Some fairways are slightly challenging which makes it fun . You definitely get more than your money’s worth
Lovely Course
I love this course and it is one of my favourites in North Co Dublin where there is no shortage of good golf courses. it is in immaculate condition with beautiful greens. The first a Par 4 is reachable in 1 which I did setting me up nicely for a good round. I highly recommend Balcarrick GC and look forward to my next game there.
Greens were in poor condition
The greens were in very poor condition and tee boxes not much better
