Find out more →Greystones Golf Club was founded in 1895 — placing it among the oldest golf clubs in Ireland and making it the oldest in County Wicklow. Over 130 years, the course has evolved while retaining the compact, tight character that defines traditional coastal golf. The layout follows the natural contours of the north Wicklow headland above the town, with Irish Sea views that on clear days stretch north to Bray Head and south along the coast.
The course plays as a parkland/heathland hybrid — firm seaside greens that hold their pace well, tight tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy over distance, and a coastal breeze that varies the challenge from day to day. At approximately 5,900 yards, it is not the longest course in Wicklow, but length has never been the point here. The premium is on ball-striking and course management in a setting that carries real historical weight.
Greystones town itself is one of north Wicklow's most appealing destinations — excellent restaurants including The Hungry Monk and Chakra by Jaipur, a DART station with regular services to Dublin, and a harbour and beach that make a post-round afternoon genuinely enjoyable. It is a club with a strong sense of identity and community, and visitors often comment on the warmth of the welcome.

Greystones punches well above its weight for dining. The Hungry Monk on Church Road is one of north Wicklow's best-loved restaurants — a long-established venue with an excellent wine list and a menu that changes with the seasons. Chakra by Jaipur on Trafalgar Road offers some of the finest Indian cooking on the east coast of Ireland. Both are within walking distance of the town centre and easy to reach after a round.
The town also has good casual options along the seafront and in the harbour area, along with several coffee shops ideal for a post-round breakfast or afternoon tea.
