Make room for
your game.

There is more than one reason to play golf. The satisfaction of a well-struck shot. A competitive round. Time outdoors with people you enjoy being around. At Balcarrick, there is room for all of it.

Our ladies’ section is part of a members’ club in Donabate, with an 18-hole estuary-style course, practice facilities and professional coaching. Whether you are learning the basics or looking for a club where you can play regularly, start with a conversation about what you want from your golf.

A course that challenges. A club that welcomes.

The course · The challenge

Golf worth making
time for.

Water, open skies and the character of the estuary shape a round at Balcarrick. Across 18 holes, positioning and shot selection give you something to think about from the first tee to the last green.

Work on your game at the driving range, putting green and practice nets, or explore coaching with the professional team. Set your own goals: greater consistency, a stronger short game or a score you have been chasing.
