St. Anne's Golf Club

St. Anne's is a linksland testament to Dublin's enduring love affair with the game, sculpted from the wild beauty of North Bull Island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The terrain is pure links – undulating fairways woven through marram grass, demanding creative shotmaking amidst the ever-present coastal winds. It favors players who embrace the ground game, rewarding strategic placement over brute force. Originally laid out by Harry Colt, with subtle enhancements by Martin Hawtree, the course presents a deceptively gentle challenge. While not hosting major championships, St. Anne's reputation for impeccable conditioning and true links character attracts a dedicated following, and it serves as a testing ground for Ireland's aspiring golfers. The spirit of St. Anne's is embodied by its tight-knit membership, fiercely proud of their linksland home. A round here often concludes with tales shared over steaming bowls of Dublin coddle, a comforting antidote to the bracing sea air, served in the clubhouse and enjoyed throughout the year. The coddle is the thing, and is best enjoyed with a few friends after a good round.
