Christy O'Connor Golf Club (at Silloge Park) - Dublin

Located in the northern suburb of Castleknock (near the Phoenix Park), this is arguably the best city centre course in the country.............

Boasting some of the finest views of any course in the country, this could best be described as a heathland links track.............

This track in Rathfarnham, south Dublin, is the course where our three-time major winner Padraig Harrington (born in Ballyroan) learned his trade.............

A lush layout in the leafy south Dublin suburb of Rathfarnham..........

This stunning pair of courses lie within the grounds of one of Ireland's most impressive stately homes..........

A 9-hole course in an idyllic setting in the Dublin Mountains - a cheap-and-cheerful choice with beautiful views.............

This Jack Nicklaus-designed course is near Dunshaughlin, County Meath - about 25 km/15 miles northeast of Dublin.............

Located just 10 minutes south of Tallaght on the Southside, we include this course because of its barely believable price of €10 for 18 holes in midweek.............

Another fine parkland layout that demands accuracy off the tee and solid iron play.............

Another easily-accessed gem in the northern city centre suburb of Clontarf.............
