Greens are top

Course is a fantastic test for all handicappers, position off the tee on some holes is key rather then grip it and rip it

Good course overall

This course is in excellent condition with friendly staff, etc. Major drawbacks are the absence of indicators to next tee plus a lot of time wasted chewing over the hopelessly inadequate map trying to figure out the lie of the hole. This delayed us on those holes that were not -quite a few in fact.

An Ace

Play here on a regular basis as a visitor. Greens are fantastic all year round. Course stands up to brilliantly to heavy rain and tough winter going (no temp tee or greens). Superb in summer months. Always in immaculate condition - for a course that must see the heaviest traffic in Dublin. Friendly and helpful staff. Opening hole should grab your attention with water all down the left. 6 is a great par 5 dog leg over water. 9&18 share a tough green.. stitch it and earn a round of applause from the gallery up in the 19th.

Beautiful course on a beautiful day

Course was in excellent condition. Had very desirable weather but wind was still a factor. Many holes were challenging but fair. Staff is very welcoming & helpful with any request. Thoroughly enjoyed this round & extremely good value for money spent. Highly recommend.

Great Course

Considering the amount of rain of the day before (very heavy stuff) the course was in great condition, with very little lying water. Greens definitively above average and good fairways.
Par 3 at the 9th and the 11th with water on 3 sides are quite spectacular.
great deal for 20 euro !

Great condition in bad weather

Played at 7am on a very wet Thursday. Considering the amount of rain the course was in great condition, with very little lying water. Not my first time plying here but would definitely recommend it to a friend.

The greens for the time of year

Due to weather conditions that morning our round was delayed for over an hour.
However amazingly the greens where firm but responsive,the fairways were well kept and the bunkers full of sand which always nice to find.

holes 9 and 18 both great par 3 holes

Castleknock is a good challenge for all golfers and has a good variation of holes that require good shotmaking. Good shots will be rewarded and bad shots not punished too severely which is good for the average golfer. Greens were super smooth and rolling really good. Well worth playing
