Parkland Grenade
Reviewed July 10, 2025
We didn't expect Dromoland Castle to be so tough! The back nine is top-notch! Our young teammate shot an eagle on the 18th, very impressive! All the staff were very friendly. The golf restaurant is fantastic!

Very nice - very loud - very sad

Played on 2.6.2019, HCP 11
Pure OPTICAL a wonderful parkland course - even the driveway leads to the first photo stops! (However, there are also problems.) Again and again, looks at a beautiful old castle - really great old trees are really chic - but also technically sometimes "something" in the way. Especially at the final hole with the huge tree middle fairway in front of the fort.
Unfortunately acoustically with smears. On the first 6-8 lanes constant sound through the nearby motorway - even running in the middle of the square driveway comes again and again a little disturbing into play.
Technically quite varied. Several times higher discounts, often water comes into play - sometimes it must be weighed exactly how far you can "short cut" here. Overall challenging, but always fair (very good care condition!) And without all too "insurmountable" seeming difficulties. Moderately hilly, who is bad on foot, should use a cart.
Conclusion: Good 3 1/2 stars - more would be quite possible if the highway would be closed and the front nine could be played "in peace". (In the "Golf Bear Ranking": 7 out of 10 points.)

Beautiful Place
Reviewed May 13, 2016
Top place! Pronounced nice reception, could already play at 15.30 on a Sunday for 63 euros (normally from 16.00) and even got the Trolly paid. necessarily play for the money. The place is wonderfully integrated into the park, playing on ponds with ducks and swans. Fantastic atmosphere with the Castle Hotel, on which one plays in the last train out. Place top maintained, varied with spectacular tracks. Tee with two par 5 dogleg over the water, where you have to decide which distance can be trusted with the Driver. Two par 3 over the water, two in depth. The short par 4 have small greens that long very large. Negative: it often travel hotel guests in and out, which interferes in some transitions and tracks and you can hear the road at some tracks clearly.
