Lovely course, shame it was so windy as the course is very exposed to the elements, made it very challenging. Would be perfect on a lovely summers day.

Lovely Scenery

The course itself is fairly basic and short. Certainly are some tricky holes with hazards. There is a lovely Par 3 with an island green on the back 9. Greens were pretty rock solid but bumpy in places.

All in I was pleasantly surprised.

Far too many green fee hackers on the course. I played with a few members who think there slots should extend later in the day. I don't blame them.

Great course

Very good course when weather is good can get very sloppy with a little rain but when dried out it is more than worth the price.

Course is very open so not many balls lost

Really enjoyed the game

First time at this course. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

Definitely a bit of a hidden gem as I had never heard anyone speaking about this course before (even with its old name Dublin Mountain).

Wide and forgiving, which is exactly what I need!

Well worth a visit

recently had the pleasure of playing this course for the first time, and it was an experience worth sharing. Set against a stunning mountain backdrop, the scenery alone makes for an enjoyable round. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making me feel right at home as a first-time visitor.

Given the time of year, I anticipated some waterlogging, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it was minimal. The fairways remained playable, allowing the ball to roll well, which made for a more enjoyable game. The wide-open fairways also meant that even off-target shots were often recoverable.

The course design is both fun and challenging, with some particularly beautiful water-featured holes that add both aesthetic appeal and strategic play. The greens were in great condition for the season—smooth and well-maintained, offering a good mix of difficulty while generally playing on the faster side.

For the price, this course delivers excellent value. Between the breathtaking views, friendly atmosphere, and solid course conditions, it’s a place I’d happily return to. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s well worth a round!

Good parkland public course near Dublin

Good course and price with weekend times near Dublin.

Simple parkland course with good condition fairways and greens. On the side of a mointain so very open in parts especially at the high tees. It can be a bit muddy at different parts due to drainage but very playable in all conditions.

Would recommend and play again

Nice course especially for the cheap price. Good conditions considering we are in December. It is a very forgiving course with 4/5 challenging holes. I would play it again, not super difficult but very fun for any level.
