Course Description

| . |
Bray Golf Club have recently moved to its new location on the other side of town where Des Smyth & Declan Branigan have constructed a magnificent new 18-hole Championship course that is maturing rapidly and has all the signs of developing into yet another superb golf course to be found in Wicklow. The members must find a huge difference with the relocation to the other side of town. The old 9-holes which are still in play until the planning problems are sorted (in my opinion as an architect in my former life, this may take a long time if ever? There is a water table to be considered for starters.) The club has constructed a state-of-the-art clubhouse providing the golfer with all the facilities the golfer could ever wish for.
Bray Golf Club operate a Five-Club Pass together with Greystones, Charlesland, Glen-of-the-Downs & Delgany for €165 in 2008 |

Club History
|
| . |
Instituted 1897 affiliated 1898.
There is evidence to suggest that golf was played at Bray in the eighteenth century along where the present promenade is; its first known member was Elias De Butts. It would appear he lived at Ravenswell.The Bray Golf Club as we know it today was founded at a meeting in the Grand International Hotel. Sir R. Fanning proposed, and the Rev. Mr. Glenn seconded “That this meeting approves the formation of a golf club in Bray."
The Irish Golfer carried the following report on 13th December, 1900. "Bray G. C. owes its existence mainly to the enterprise of Mr. J. S. Robson and Mr. D. J. Stewart, who having induced the Rt. Hon. Lord Plunkett to act as President, spared no pains in arousing the inhabitants of Bray and surrounding district. The club has just completed its second year and can boast of a membership roll of 325 having procured the grounds laying around Ravenswell"Bray has relocated to a site near Bray Head, and become an eighteen-hole course.
