For those golfers staying in Dublin, a round at the Royal Dublin Golf Club is a convenient and enjoyable diversion from the hustle and bustle of Ireland 's capital city. Located on Bull Island in Dublin Bay, Royal Dublin Golf Club was redesigned in the early 20th century by Harry Colt, one of the leading architects of that age, and more recently by Martin Hawtree, one of the leading Irish architects of our age.
Although the links terrain at Royal Dublin is more subdued than that of many other famous Irish links golf courses, the golf holes themselves at Royal Dublin are quite splendid and challenging. Following the recent renovation by Mr. Hawtree, Royal Dublin now possesses one of the best sets of putting greens in Ireland, with most raised above the fairway level and containing significant contours.
With the added convenience of being only a short drive to the wonderful history, shopping, dining and pubs of downtown Dublin, the newly redesigned Royal Dublin Golf Club is a worthy inclusion in any Irish golf vacation based in the Dublin area.
