Golf Royal Dublin
Harry Colt, a legend in golf design, created the links of The Royal Dublin Golf Club in the 1920s. It was set among the dunes of Bull Island in a classic out-and-back format.
Around the turn of the millennium, with improvements in club and ball technology resulting in the prodigious length of modern golfers, a new approach was needed.
Renowned course architect Martin Hawtree was engaged by the members to update the Holt design. Hawtree has lengthened the course, adding 18 new raised and contoured greens, and transformed sections of the course.
Now well over 7,000 yards off the championship tees, The Royal Dublin Golf Club is a sterling test of all golfing skills - ball striking and, most of all, course management.
