Elmgreen Golf Course & Centre

Castleknock Dublin 15

Boasting 110 acres of lush green fairways and stunning views, Elmgreen Golf Centre is an 18-hole course just 10 minutes from the centre of Dublin. Designed by acclaimed Irish golf architect Eddie Hackett, Elmgreen Golf Centre first opened to the public in 1995. With spectacular tree-lined fairways, immaculate bunkers and captivating views of Dublin Mountains, this scenic parkland course has already provided the ideal location for a range of events and the 2003 Special Olympics.

Elmgreen prides itself on catering for golfers of all standards and the Pitch & Putt course is an ideal way for beginners to get to grips with the game before moving to the main course or one of our junior camps. Three resident pros are on hand to talk you through your game and improve your technique while our outstanding practice facilities include a floodlit 25-bay driving range, an 18-hole putting green and a host of extras as standard.
