Captain's Welcome

A warm welcome

As Captains for 2021 we are honoured to represent Castle Golf Club again and to welcome our members and guests whenever possible during the year.

Established in 1913, Castle Golf Club is one of the oldest and finest eighteen-hole parkland golf courses in the country. Nestling on gently sloping land between Churchtown and Rathfarnham, the course is within easy reach of all major routes and the city centre.

As one would expect of a Harry Colt designed course, Castle offers golfers a true test of their ball striking and shot making ability. There are over 75 bunkers in Castle and all our greens are designed to USGA sand-based standards. With each hole well protected by large mature trees, the emphasis at all times is very much on accuracy. Our highly skilled and experienced ground staff ensure the course and par three Valley course are maintained in immaculate playing condition all year round.

Of course, Castle also offers members and visitors an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and everyday life. The unrivalled views of the course and the Dublin mountains from the clubhouse balcony are just one of its many delights.

Castle has always been a friendly, family orientated club where the club ethos and traditions are carefully preserved and passed on from one generation to the next. The club has a vibrant social scene and a well-earned reputation for its friendly and relaxed atmosphere. A key element of that is the warmth of the Castle welcome which members and staff alike extend to all visitors and guests.

In this very unusual year we are hopeful that the emergence from public health restrictions can happen in a way that allows our major events to be held, when our membrs and visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy our on and off course facilities as fully as possible.

We look forward to welcoming you.
