Wicklow Golf Club

Wicklow Golf Club has been part of the Irish golf story since 1904, which makes it one of the most historic clubs on the East Coast. The 18-hole course sits high on the cliffs above the town, so the sea is never far from view. Look south and you can pick out Wicklow Head Lighthouse along the cliff line. Look north and Wicklow Bay opens up, with the Wicklow Mountains rising behind.

It's a clifftop layout with plenty of fresh air and plenty of decisions. Underfoot you get a solid, playable parkland base, but the exposed position gives it a links-style edge, especially when the wind gets up. One day it's a helpful push downwind, the next it asks for a lower flight and a more conservative line. If you enjoy working the ball and thinking your way round, you'll have a lot of fun here.

It suits mixed groups well too. Better players can hunt for position and chase a score, while higher handicappers won't feel beaten up on every hole. Wicklow is an easy one to build into an East Coast golf break, either as the main event on a short trip or a scenic round alongside other nearby courses. Your Golf Travel can bundle your tee times and accommodation and take the admin off the organiser, so your group can just turn up and play, with our 24/7 Caddie Support in your corner while you travel.
