The Howth Golf Course is an interesting mix of links and heathland; 5-time Open winner James Braid designed it.

The golf course is situated on the Howth Peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides and overlooking some urban development, Dublin Bay and distant hills. Its legacy as one of Dublin’s best golf courses is a testament to its timeless design, beautiful scenery and accessibility to the city. Howth Golf Club presents a perfect start or end to your visit to Dublin and Ireland, with the advantage of having friendlier staff than most destinations.
Golf Course Information
The James Braid-designed golf course opened in 1916, and it has been hosting golfers from all over the world ever since. The golf course sits on the Hill of Howth, enjoying commanding panoramas of Dublin Bay, towards nearby Wicklow to the south and the Mourne Mountains to the north. The links-style golf course supports abundant wildflowers that bloom during spring and summer, which is the best time to play. Trees are interspersed throughout the golf course, while greens are small and tight. The golf course has the advantage of height in what is generally a lowland area, so golfers often remark that from Howth, you can see up to 23 local golf courses in the Dublin area.
Course designer James Braid is a well-known golf legend who also designed the Kings and Queens courses at Scotland’s Gleneagles Resort. The intriguing layout ensures all 18 holes are unique, offering an eclectic blend of heathland and links land. The 18-hole route is wedged on the Howth Peninsula, and its age at well over 100 years old typically makes the golf course short with a total length of 5,700-metres and a par of 71. The Howth Golf Club is always enjoyed as a fun day out from Dublin with incredible views.
