FINGAL COAST
The Island Golf Club
A hidden links masterpiece on Dublin's doorstep
The Island Golf Club is one of Ireland's best-kept secrets — a pure, natural links course tucked into a peninsula on the northern shore of Dublin Bay, accessible only by a short ferry crossing or a walk across the strand. Its remoteness has preserved everything that makes it special.
Founded in 1890, The Island has evolved quietly into one of the finest links courses in Ireland, consistently ranked among the top courses in the country yet visited by only a fraction of the golfers who make the journey to Kerry or Clare. The course winds through towering dunes above the Irish Sea, with views across to Lambay Island and the Mourne Mountains on a clear day. It is a course that rewards patience, imagination, and a willingness to let the ground game do the work.
"One of the finest and most natural links courses in Ireland — and one of the least known."
