Hazel Grove was founded in 1988, when P. J. Foley asked Watty Sullivan the resident professional at Grange Golf Club to design this 9-hole Parkland on the foothills of the Dublin Mountains.
Watty was a legend in his, own time, with a reputation of being one of the best coaches in Irish golf. When I first brought Shane to Watty for a lesson and an assessment it was one of the most amusing hours I've ever spent on a golf course. I don't know what Shane learned but I learned a lot just listening to this gentleman of golf. I've had the pleasure of meeting him several times after that and all as one could do is listen his stories were true and amusing.
Hazel Grove almost within the village of Tallaght is one of the most friendliest golf clubs to be found in Ireland and the visitor is extended a warm and genuine welcome at Hazel Grove.

They may not have progressed to challenge for the green pennant but it was some achievement for a club with a lady membership of less than 40.

Full credit must be given to my old friend Martin Hynes, who is now coaching the youth in Hazel Grove Martin played a major part in Padraig Harrington's devilment when coaching at Stackstown, and in Mark Campbell's and Michael McDermott's the best of which we have yet to see. Watch this space, it should be interesting to watch the progress of the young crop at Hazel grove.

History of Hazel Grove
Founded 1988 affiliated 1988
What the Club tells us: Hazel Grove Golf Club was founded in 1913, its modest first site being some rented farmer's fields at Bosden, Hazel Grove. Following a short tenancy, the members found on alternative site at Mill Hill in Hazel Grove and twelve months later another move was made, this time to the present course at High Lane. It was then that the club started to establish itself and the membership grew accordingly.
The early 1920's was a significant time in the club's history as finances were raised and the club embarked on the improvement and preconstruction of the course by none other than Mackenzie & Nicholson Golf Course Contractors. As history shows, Dr. Mackenzie, pictured here, proved to be one of the great golf course architects of our time and is responsible for designing many world famous courses, including Augusta National and Cypress Point. Hazel Grove is indeed in very good company!
The next major work to be carried out on the course took place in 1990 when plans for the infamous A6 Bypass resulted in the compulsory purchase of a section of the old course which to this day remains unused. However, this land continues to be maintained by the greens staff as if it were still part of the course and makes an excellent practice area.
New land was acquired and the course redesigned along with a complete refurbishment of the clubhouse and its facilities.
However the greatest feature of the new course is probably the greens, having all been relaid to USGA standards. Not only does the club arguably possess the best greens in the region, but members and guests can also enjoy playing on them for twelve months of the year without a temporary green in sight.
