Blainroe Golf Club. Blainroe.
A dramatic clifftop course perched above the Irish Sea — sea views from all 18 holes and a Hawtree design that uses the natural contours of the Wicklow coastline to brilliant effect.
Blainroe Golf Club
Blainroe Golf Club occupies one of the most spectacular settings of any golf course in Leinster — a clifftop site 3km south of Wicklow Town, commanding sweeping views of the Irish Sea from virtually every hole. The course was designed by Hawtree & Son and opened in 1978, with a significant redesign by Martin Hawtree (son of the original architect) completed in 2005.
The par-72 layout stretches to approximately 6,800 yards and takes full advantage of the clifftop terrain, with several holes playing along the very edge of the headland. The sea breeze is a constant companion and a significant factor — what plays as a comfortable iron in calm conditions can become a full club challenge when the wind picks up off the Irish Sea.
Visitors are welcome throughout the week. Green fees are among the best value for a coastal course in Wicklow. The course is easily combined with a visit to Wicklow Golf Club in Wicklow Town, making for an excellent day of contrasting clifftop and coastal golf.
