COUNTY WICKLOW

Coollattin Golf Club is a beautiful and challenging par 72 layout located in the heart of historic Coollattin Park in south County Wicklow. The first golf course at Coollattin was developed, in 1922, by William ('Billy') Wentworth, the 7th Earl Fitzwilliam. The Earl, an avid golfer and a nephew of one of America's first professional golfers, could not have found a more stunning setting. The golf course was laid out against the backdrop of superb specimen trees, rhododendrons and azaleas - a rare and beautiful collection which had been planted and nurtured by 'Billy's' family and ancestors since the early 1700's.

The East Course was designed by the talented golfer and successful Walker cup captain Peter McEvoy who brilliantly follows the contours of this mature and historic landscape. It has hosted the 1998 Irish PGA which three time major winner Padraig Harrington won in a playoff. The East course also hosted the 2001 Irish Seniors Open. The West course brings David McLay Kidd’s (Designer of Bandon Dunes in Oregan) experience and detail for a challenging, rewarding and highly enjoyable golf course to life. The beautiful scenery and the greens from the West course can be heard talked about in the clubhouse all evening long from our visitors who want a second chance at it.

Woodbrook Golf Club was established in 1921, by Sir Stanley Cochrane as his private club. Woodbrook was first affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland in 1926. Sir Stanley had previously indulged his enthusiasm for cricket at Woodbrook, a fact that is still reflected in the pavilion-style clubhouse and the cricket bell, which tolled the start and finish of play and now hangs in the bar. In olden days the Dublin-Bray train stopped at the club and in the early days of tournament golf, spectators alighted on the course. Although a flat course, the wind plays a most significant role. When it blows from the North, nine holes are affected, including three out of the last four. When it’s from the South, the tenth plus the par three eleventh, and the par five – 12th, 14th and 16th, all become very difficult long holes. A crosswind from the East affects almost every hole on the course and calls for shot making of the highest calibre. With its configuration of five par threes and five par fives, Woodbrook’s layout is unusual but, in the opinion of those who have played there, it is a championship course in every meaning of the word.

Our club is situated in a most scenic location and has excellently kept grounds with a challenging 9-hole course, considered by many to be one of the best in the country.
