Instituted 1909, affiliated 1910. The inaugural meeting of the club took place on 9th December 1909, at the Royal Marine Hotel. Fifty-one people attended the meeting, chaired by Major Bryan Cooper M. P. The Earl of Longford K. P. was elected the first President and the well-known golf journalist, Lionel Hewson, was elected its first Captain. Initially, it was a nine-hole course, but very quickly became an eighteen-holes, when additional forty acres were leased on the other side of Glenageary Road. In 1922, Harry Colt, who had just finished his masterpiece at Pine Valley in New Jersey, which had taken seven years to build, was invited to redesign Kingstown Golf Course. His design has not changed to this present day. The club changed its name to Dun Laoghaire in 1951.
