Elmgreen Golf Centre

Opened to the public in 1995 and designed by acclaimed Irish architect Eddie Hackett, Elmgreen is an 18-hole, par-70 parkland course of 5,807 yards set across 110 acres a short drive from Dublin city centre. Tree-lined fairways, tidy bunkering and views of the Dublin Mountains give it an attractive, approachable character, and it hosted the golf events of the 2003 Special Olympics. The centre also runs a floodlit driving range, a pitch and putt course and on-site PGA tuition, making it a well-rounded pay-and-play facility.
