Dromoland Castle Golf and Country Club

Dromoland Castle's golf course, sculpted into the ancestral estate of the O'Brien clan, High Kings of Ireland, offers a regal golfing experience steeped in history. Originally designed by Brook L. Wigginton and later enhanced by J.B. Carr, the parkland layout unfolds across rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and alongside the serene Dromoland Lough. The course favors strategic play over sheer power, challenging golfers with cleverly placed bunkers, subtle elevation changes, and demanding approaches to well-guarded greens. While not a regular stop for major professional tournaments, Dromoland's charm lies in its intimate atmosphere and the commitment to providing a memorable experience for all levels of player. Beyond the golf, Dromoland offers a taste of Irish hospitality and heritage. Its setting amongst the castle grounds provides a unique ambiance, offering players the chance to savor the history and culture of Ireland while indulging in the sport. The 19th hole offers the best traditional Irish stew, locally sourced and slowly simmered, is said to restore even the most wayward of swings.
