Generally, links courses are in remote, even desolate areas (therein the charm) but this equally charming one is only 3.5 miles from the centre of Dublin, on Bull Island, a bird sanctuary. It's the second-oldest club in Ireland and is designed in the old tradition of seaside links: the front nine goes out in a line (wind helping) and the back nine comes back in a line (wind against). So, don't expect to make a comeback on the way home if you struggled going out.
    Visitors are welcome Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. If you require a caddy please give advance notice.
