Macreddin Golf Club

Macreddin Golf Club sits in the garden county of Wicklow, approximately an hour south of Dublin in the village of Macreddin. The course was designed by Paul McGinley, the Irish Ryder Cup captain and former European Tour professional, who has developed a growing portfolio of design work in Ireland and beyond. McGinley's routing takes advantage of the natural Wicklow landscape, working with the rolling terrain and mature woodland that characterizes this part of the eastern Irish countryside. The layout reflects McGinley's playing experience and understanding of strategic golf design, incorporating elevation changes and natural contours into holes that require thoughtful club selection and course management. The property's setting within the BrookLodge estate means the course integrates with the surrounding hospitality amenities, including accommodation and dining facilities that have established Macreddin Village as a destination in County Wicklow. The course serves both members and visitors, fitting into the broader tradition of parkland golf in Ireland's east while offering a contemporary design perspective from someone who competed at the highest levels of professional golf. The Wicklow location provides a different character from links golf, with tree-lined fairways and the kind of inland terrain that defines much of the region's golfing landscape.
