Golf, as with most things pleasurable in life, is approached with a particular passion here in Dublin. For many years visitors from both home and further afield have availed of the luxury of this particular pastime in the auspicious surroundings of The Royal Dublin Golf Club. Ireland's second oldest golf club and one of the Ireland's premier sporting theatres, Royal Dublin provides visiting players with a combination of a superb championship links course and a degree of hospitality that mirrors its historic development.

Founded at a meeting at No.19 Grafton Street in May 1885 initially the club was based in Dublin's renowned Phoenix Park but as interest and membership grew a new home was sought. In 1889, after a brief sojourn in Sutton, the club moved to its present home at Bull Island.

It is arguable that the clubs origins and history stretch back to the early 1880's when one Captain William Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame, in constructing a sea wall to aid proper shipping access to Dublin, created a sand bank where Royal Dublin enjoys its unique location today.

As with all great clubs, Royal Dublin has the amenities to match its course. Visitors are warmly welcomed and will find the club easy to access, being a mere fifteen minutes from the centre of Dublin. To ensure that your day goes as smoothly as it can, a time-sheet is in operation when your booking is made.
