In a country packed with historic golf courses, Ashbourne Golf Club is rather rare for an Irish course, in that it wasn’t founded until the 1990s. However, what it lacks in age it more than makes up for in quality – a fantastic course with challenging holes, you’ll find that Ashbourne Golf Club easily outshines many of its competitors.
Using the natural landscape including the Broad Meadow River, which runs along the course’s western edge, this 18-hole championship parkland course poses quite a challenge even for the seasoned golfer. At par 71, it is one of the tougher courses in County Meath, but if you want to enjoy the views without worrying too much about your game, this is also the perfect spot to play. Complete with tricky sand bunkers and pristine fairways, you’ll not forget a game here in a hurry.
Afterwards, head to Ashbourne Golf Club’s clubhouse, where you’ll find a delectable menu of lunch, dinner and desserts. The hospitality team here pour their heart and soul into producing top-quality food, and you’ll find the staff jovial, friendly and committed to excellent service.
Visitors are welcome here and bookings for open days can be made online to ensure your space is reserved. Open all year round, you will find club and buggy hire are both available at Ashbourne. Just half an hour north of Dublin, you can drive to Ashbourne Golf Club via the M2 and M50 motorways.
