Didn't mention one hole was closed

Paid for 3 of my friends visiting from America to play this course, as they are part of a society, and wanted to scout potential courses. however, they were seriously disappointed to find the 12th hole was closed for drainage work in the height of the summer. there was no mention of this when booking, or from the pro shop when checking in.

Powerscourt East & West - Must Play!

Played Powerscourt West course for the first time on July 23 2024 and East Course a few days later. The weather was perfect on both days. I am a single digit HCP and I enjoyed both courses very much. The West course is more scenic and the East course is more walker-friendly, however, you can rent buggies for both courses or electric trolleys for reasonable rates. The course, staff, facilities and amenities are top-notch and I was greeted by friendly and courteous staff on both occassions. Definitely recommend this course and hope that all golfers respect pace of play and allow golfers to play through if they have to wait. One more thing, the practice facilities and the range is full sized, so you can truly warm up before your game. Most local Dublin courses don't have a full-sized range and at most you can hit a few balls into a net. The clubhouse has a seating area for visiting guests and an area for club members. Definitely recommend this scenic course if you visit Dublin. Slainte!

Powerscourt West is an amazing course....it's always in great condition tee to green. We had a beautiful sunny day and enjoyed lovely views of the Sugarloaf while plying our skills on the golf course.

Wow

If you are from Ireland or stopping by on your travels Powerscourt Golf Club is a course you should not miss. The views alone are worth the price of admission! Even on a rainy day this course will take your breath away! We played the West course and the entire game brought us from long dog leg par 5's to scenic par 4s and technical par 3s. The views may be breath taking but do not take this course for granted!

Very quick interaction with the very friendly staff at the pro shop but it seemed stocked to the brim with every golfers needs including custom course attire and accessories.

Think about your shots but also enjoy every moment of it! Cannot wait to try the East Course!

Aerated green

Golfnow Customers need to be informed when the greens are aerated because who’s wants to paid to play on aerated greens they are not enjoyable we can go somewhere else instead of wasting our money

Powerscourt East Course - Excellent and Accessible

Played Powerscourt East course for the first time. Beautiful scenic course. The course, staff and conditions were all excellent. The weather was perfect in July 2024. Compared to the West course, the East course is probably less demanding to walk, and it has a cart/buggy path that runs throughout the course, which makes it easier for trolleys or for people using buggies. Decent bathrooms are located on the course. Gavin Hunt, one of the administrators, is very friendly. Well worth a visit. Highly recommend playing both courses. The scenery is incredible!

Beautiful Scenic Course

Played Powerscourt West course for the first time. The weather was perfect. I am a single digit HCP. Everything was perfect except pace of play. There was a group of threesome ladies ahead who were in a competition, so they apologized for not letting me pass, as I was playing solo. However, after 9 holes the tournanment was done but another group of 3 ladies never let me pass, so I had to wait on every hole for the entire round. The course, staff, facilities and amenities are top-notch, without any hint of a snooty atmosphere. Definitely recommend this course and wish that other golfers don't hold you up. I rented an electric trolley for €15 well worth it. Course is hilly, for sure. Cheers!

Powerscourt East course

Played both the West and East course and this is the East course review which was slightly easier than the West course but the rough could be lethal of going into it.

Course layout was easy to follow and very interesting holes and a good test.

Green were in good condition but very tricky as well as being quick.

Staff were fantastic and played with another couple of guests.

Club house is great and food is lovely so we'll worth a visit.

Powerscourt West course

Booked here whilst staying at the neighbouring hotel and wasn't disappointed.

After checking in the day prior to make sure no problems with my t times was greeted by very friendly and helpful pro shop staffing took a personal interest in my visit.

Ended up joining up with a member and his guest and couldn't have asked for a friendliest duo, as for the course that also wasn't disappointing the course was in immaculate condition apart from the very harsh rough if going a bit off line.

Greens were in good condition but very tricky all in all would highly recommend this course if anybody fancies visiting just hope the East course is in good condition also.

Great course but very very slow

Course in good condition but the pace of play was very very slow. 5 plus hour round, waiting on every tee box. Tee times need to be spread out more

Fairways in excellent condition despite recent weeks of heavy rain. Three holes closed but probably for the best. Greens heavily sanded. Stunning course
