Characteristics
The origins of golf in Laytown and Bettystown Golf Club date back to the last quarter of the 19th century when historians agree that golf was first played on the south bank of the River Boyne. This course, located 25 miles north of Dublin, is a traditional links golf course and a good test for any golfer excellent conditions. Be warned as this is a links course that can be susceptible to a howling wind off the sea. It is not for the faint hearted. Taking its place alongside Portmarnock, The Island and County Louth Golf Clubs, it presents a unique challenge with narrow fairways, windswept burrows and fast greens all framed with superb views of the Cooley and Mourne Mountains and the Irish Sea.

Worthwhile alternative...
Reviewed September 27, 2024
... to the more famous places in the area, which are now overpriced.
Greens and fairways good, rewarding views of the sea.
At times a bit winding and narrow, but that's what we're used to from links courses that are more than 100 years old.
Friendly reception.

Rustic rustic
Reviewed August 17, 2019
Played on 9.6.2019, HCP 11
A typical "local village" links course. Rural rustic - partly rough, unfortunately also from the care state ago.
There are always nice views of the sea offered - inland it looks rather unspectacular.
The course of the track is sometimes difficult to even unrecognizable - at the 18 there is a risk of accidentally attacking the parking lot instead of the green. In addition, the tracks are quite close together - sometimes that does not seem quite safe.
Even the tracks themselves are quite narrow - who does not scatter too much is clearly in the advantage. However, there is a realistic chance for the "spreaders" to find balls again - the rough is for the most part not too bad'.
Water hazards are in vain (left-typical), but lurk here and there, the equally nasty little, but tiiieeefen pot bunkers.
A cart is not really needed because of the short distances, although the place is tough and a bit hilly.
Conclusion: a rustic-friendly local links course - "take away", if you are in the vicinity. Almost 3 stars. (In the "Golf Bear Ranking": 5 out of 10 points.)

Links-Golf pure
Reviewed August 1, 2017
From the beginning, this feeling is there - narrow landing areas, many bunkers, fast and strongly ondulated greens. If you use the driver, you should leave it in the bag. A wood 3 or a hybrid is sufficient for a good score.
The place is not flat. A constant up and down in the hilly terrain makes the round to a sporting event. The place is partly very tight, nothing for the weak nerves!
The optics suffers under lack of care (seat benches dirty, graded to the discounts very exited, no ball washers).
But fun it did in any case.
