Course Description:
Edmondstown officially opened its new Peter McEvoy designed course on 18th of May 2002 with an Opening Day AM won by won by G. Day, B. O'Sullivan, M. Levine and J. Nelson with a score of 76. Edmondstown Golf Club is situated amongst the most delightful surroundings on the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, and only 11km from Dublin’s city centre. A testing parkland course, it lends itself to the golfer who desires a socially enjoyable round of golf on a well-maintained and manicured golf course.
The clubhouse is considered one of the best appointed of Dublin golf clubs, and has a staff dedicated to making your visit to Edmondstown Golf Club a memorable and enjoyable experience. That is why they attract so many visitors each year – either as local golfers going to play in their annual society or corporate outing, or the many overseas guests who speak of highly of their visit to Edmondstown. What, however, is of great importance is the subject of availability. Edmondstown is perhaps one of the few golf clubs in the Metropolitan Dublin area that provides weekend golf. Although, you must, book in advance to avoid disappointment. Societies are welcome and group rates are available.
