Stepaside Golf Course

I’ve been playing golf for over 15 years and never in my years of playing have I ever came across a member of staff at a golf club so unbelievably rude and unprofessional. It actually shocked me. I payed for 2 players to play 18 holes of golf and also some extra things like snacks and drinks. On their score card it clearly states it is an 72 Par 18 hole course. Once I finished up the front 9, I went on to hole number 10 when all of a sudden this older member of staff screams over at me, “Hey! You’re Done!” In a a very aggressive tone and points in the direction of my car in the car park!!! I couldn’t believe what was happening. I went over to discuss what the problem was and all he could keep saying is “it’s a 9 hole course!!!” Again through our whole conversation being extremely aggressive. I explained that what they have advertised is an 18 hole course and also showed him the clubs scorecard which clearly states it’s an 18 hole course. While I was talking to him and explaining what they have advertised, and why his behaviour was unprofessional, all of a sudden he just walks away back inside the club house! He is an older I would call him a gentleman but he was far from one, with short grey hair and a short grey beard with glasses.

I enjoyed playing this course but will not be back again if this is how you get treated.

The course condition was well below par, we had booked for 18 holes and showed our booking which stated this was an 18 holes course. This is a 9 hole course and they are false advertising.

Moreover, when we entered the 10th hole as we waited for the golfers ahead to play we heard barking from a staff member who was extremely rude and personally I've never dealt with a person as rude in my life. I certainly won't be recommending this course not will I return.

It a good courses but you can only play 9 holes very disappointed you can not repeat 9 holes.

The overall course condition is good but the greens are worse than any pitch and putt course in Stepaside. Truely woeful. Pity as it has the potential to be a great little course if some effort put into maintaining the greens.

The price reflexes the standard level of the course so therefore reasonable value for money.One staff member but a gentleman at that, very friendly and obliging.

Can be a tough course if you are starting out. Greens are in poor condition and could do with some upkeep. Fun course and good value for money.

Played the 18 holes (play the 9 hole twice) for €23 for two which was a good deal on a Sunday. Was a bit slow as a lot of people playing on the fine day of a Sunday. All is very casual and no one complaining about slow play etc

Short in length and only 9 holes so does lack that variety of challenge that a more modern course offers. The greens and bunkers were in excellent condition and I say this because they have been poor on previous visits, so well done to the green keeper.

This is a nice course that is friendly. The staff are attentive, the course is honest and straightforward but not too difficult. It is nice to see the various groups of golfers from couples, father and son as well and your regular 2, 3 and 4 balls. No frills on the course or price.

poor tee boxes ............zero signage on course.........................rubish bins on the ground with bottles allover the areas........almost impossible underfoot on the fairways.
this course need immediate intensive treatment by the course management DLRCC.

10 minute delay in tee off time, not a problem.
Greens in terrible condition, clumps of weeds growing on all of them and long over due a cut.

Three ball in front of us were sharing clubs. St the fourth hole a four all decided they would not wait on the 1st and jumped in ahead of the 3 ball ahead of us.

I went to reception to report these issues, the young gentleman was very pleasant but it wasn't sorted out.

We abandoned play at the 17th which is a small par 3 due to the level of people queuing.

I had play here last summer when there seemed to be some course management and course staff thing care of the upkeep of the course. It is such a pity they have let it deteriorate to such an extent.

I would not return here to play, particularly at the weekend when they only seem to employ one member of staff.
