Grange Castle Golf Course
Grange Castle Par 72 Championship Golf Course measures almost 6,165 m from the Blue Tees. The greens on the course are developed to United States Golfing Association specification and receive high praise from all since the course opened.
7 lakes and a number of streams feature throughout the golf course. A new 7 holes were opened in June 2006 and form part of a new back 9 layout. The introduction of these holes has resulted in the Par of the course changing to 72 and its overall length being increased by some 300 yards.
Grange Castle is a pay as you play golf course owned by South Dublin County Council. The course offers the general public exceptional value for money and is maintained to the very high standards throughout the year. A time sheet is in operation seven days a week so be sure to book as the course is very popular.
