Lisburn Golf Club
Debate surrounds the foundation of Lisburn Golf Club. A Club was inaugurated in the town in 1880 and affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland. However, it had a short life going out of existence in 1885/86. The Club under its present constitution was, in fact, founded in 1905. For the next 68 years it occupied a compact nine hole course at Longstone Street in the heart of Lisburn. The present Governor’s Road bisects what was the first fairway on that course. Indeed a few of the majestic lime trees which were such a feature of the course, and which hampered many a shot on the first and ninth holes, are in evidence to this day.

Esker Hills Golf Club
Esker Hills, Tullamore, Co. Offaly is regarded as one of Ireland's leading inland golf courses. It is a challenging championship golf course where no two holes are remotely alike. It is noted for its distinct links feel, superb sand-based greens, all-year playability and warm welcome. "Designing Esker Hills gave me enormous satisfaction, plotting the course through nature's own sand-hills and valleys. Esker Hills is the only inland links type course I know of, which makes golf a pleasure all year round." - Christy O' Connor Jnr.

Elmgreen Golf Club
Situated on the City’s doorstep and located just off the M50, Elmgreen Golf Club is a beautiful, immaculately kept 18-hole parkland course nestled in the leafy suburbs of Dublin 15. Having recently benefited from a €500,000 renovation on and off the course, Elmgreen is a rejuvenated club with a vibrant and growing membership. The Eddie Hackett designed course is located in a secluded estate with mature forestry, tree-lined fairways, and magnificent views of the Dublin mountains.

Berehaven Golf Club
As I drove away from Berehaven, I couldn’t help feeling that if somebody threw a million dollars at this, largely unheralded gem of a course, it might become a serious rival to California´s Pebble Beach; it really does have that much potential.

Stackstown Golf Club
Since the foundation of the Club in 1976, the course has grown into one of the most respected and attractive golf venues in Dublin. Padraig Harrington’s input into the design of the course has resulted in a flexible 20-hole layout which provides a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. In addition to the usual locker room facilities, the clubhouse has a snooker room and a well-equipped gym. However, the most impressive room in the clubhouse is the Padraig Harrington Trophy Room, where you can see memorabilia from his illustrious career, including his Major trophies. A fully equipped Pro-Shop and a plentiful supply of buggies provide the novice and experienced golfer with all that is needed. Our pro Richard Bridges.
