Howth Golf Club

Founded in 1916, Howth Golf Club occupies heathland ground on the Howth peninsula, its layout shaped by five-time Open champion James Braid and making full use of dramatic elevation changes and dog-leg holes cut into the hillside. Several holes deliver sweeping panoramas across Dublin Bay, giving the course a scenic quality to match its strategic demands. It remains one of the capital's most characterful heathland tests, only around 25 minutes from the city centre.
