Wicklow Golf Club. Wicklow Town.
Founded in 1904, this clifftop parkland course offers some of the most stunning sea views in Irish golf — 18 holes perched above Wicklow Bay with the town's famous lighthouse and harbour as a backdrop.
Wicklow Golf Club
Wicklow Golf Club is one of County Wicklow's oldest clubs, founded in 1904 and occupying a magnificent clifftop position overlooking Wicklow Bay, just a short walk from the town centre. The course is a compact but scenic parkland layout that makes excellent use of its elevated coastal setting, offering panoramic views of the Irish Sea, the town's historic harbour and the Wicklow Head lighthouse on almost every hole.
The course plays to a par of 71 over 5,911 yards — shorter than many championship courses but the clifftop exposure, undulating terrain and small, well-protected greens make it a genuine test of golf. The course rewards accuracy and course management over brute length, and is particularly enjoyable when played in a relaxed, social atmosphere.
Visitors are welcome throughout the week with no handicap requirement. Green fees are among the most affordable for a scenic coastal course in Wicklow, making Wicklow Golf Club an excellent option for golfers looking for a quality round at excellent value. The town's cafés, restaurants and pubs are within easy walking distance of the clubhouse.
