St. Margaret's Golf and Country Club

Serious course for serious golfers. Too tough for average golfer hence the slow play. Greens a bit crusty and bumpy and Sandy. Almost as if they are trying to make them fast when the grass isn't able for it.

Typical municipal bunkers. Lots of footprints and badly raked but loads of sand.

Great value for money.

This could be the best course is Dublin if more were spent maintaining it. But it is just a public golf course and as long as players remember that they'll not be too unhappy.

There seem to be enough staff there to deal with slow play but ......

It's not easy to tell highly muscled tattooed lads to hurry up!

A nice layout - some tough approaches over water on the front nine. Greens not in the best condition for this time of year. Not an overly long course. 2 par 5s in a row at end of round makes this quirky. Enjoyable round nonetheless

The pace of play was awful. We had to stand and wait at every tee box and on our fairways shots, and for each green. Five hours and ten minutes! A ranger approached us at the 8th tee. We complained it had taken two hours and fifteen minutes to get that far!! He went ahead to see what the problem was. That’s the last we saw of him. St Margaret’s are obviously interested only in getting as many green fees out on the course as possible, not in the players’ experience! My buddies and I vowed never again, not even if we got it for free!!

Wonderful course, fairways were immaculate especially for Feb. Layout is thought proving and beautiful. The par threes and the 18th were especially pretty.

Enjoyed this course. We’ll set up and in good conditions for winter. No temporary greens which is a bi plus. Front nine harder than back with some nice water holes. Greens in good condition. Will play again.

Excellent course great layout value for money course in magnificent condition a joy to play

Slowness of play really took away from enjoying the outing, especially as I had brought two friends as my guests, both of whom were excellent golfers but they got quiet upset at the slow pace of play. This was doubly annoying as the wind was noticeably cold when you're standing around so long waiting to take your next shot. The Course Ranger did come when we phoned at the 6th or 7th hole to try to do something about it. The delays arose from two sets of 4 players in caddy cars. So, while the course itself is great, if I'd know the play was going to be so slow I think I would have gone to some other course. In that sense I didn't at all get value for my 90EUR.

Pleasant course. Would have looked nicer if all water features had water but many were dry. Some lovely par 3s. Only complaint was two guys playing out of a buggy with one set of clubs were very slow. I passed them walking with a trolley and they started 15 minutes ahead of me.

Second time around this fabulous course and I’m still in awe with some of the holes on this course.

If you get an opportunity, play it as you won’t be disappointed.

The final hole Was so tough, especially as the fairway all plays toward the water hazard and demand plenty of respect.

A wonderful golf course and facilities.

Excellent course and really helpful staff

Friendly and courteous

Ate afterwards and food was excellent

Only minor issue was charge for towels

Please don’t do this ... it’s cheap and overall experience was too good to be disappointed by such an unnecessary expense

the course is always in great condition , the weather had been very dry for a couple of weeks and still played well , its a pretty level course and not to hard on the body , hope you enjoy your game there .

One of the best and interesting courses i have played. Plenty of water through fairways and before greens. Cant just stand up and blast it.

Played the course a few times and this was best I’ve seen it. Great value for money.

Downside was it took almost 5 1/2 hours due to a society ahead of us. Painfully slow. Luckily the weather was decent.

Will defo return but if i see a society ahead of me I’ll cry!!!

Very pleasant staff, efficient and helpful in the pro shop.

A few years since I played the course so noticed a huge difference in the lay out. Much easier for amateurs now and for the better. Course is still a good test of golf.

Would recommend the club to all golfers.

Thank you for the experience.
