Portmarnock Golf Club, Golf club in Portmarnock, Ireland.
Portmarnock Golf Club is a seaside course north of Dublin with two layouts totaling 27 holes. The facility sits on natural dunes along the coast and includes a clubhouse with dining and a pro shop.
The club was founded in 1894 starting with nine holes, which expanded to 18 by 1896. A new clubhouse was built during this period of growth.
The club was long a male-only institution in Irish golf until opening its membership to everyone in 2021. This change marks how traditional Irish golf clubs have shifted with modern times.
The club sits roughly 10 miles north of Dublin and is easily reached from the airport. Advance booking is needed to play, and the site offers facilities for both practice and dining.
The 15th hole, a par three added in 1927, is the only major change ever made to the original routing; the championship course otherwise follows the 1894 layout, lengthened to over 7,500 yards from the back tees.
