Waterford Castle Golf Club

Waterford Castle Golf Club

The unique Waterford Castle Hotel and Golf Club is Ireland's only true island golf resort. Completely detached from the mainland yet ideally located for an Irish golfing vacation or exploring the many Irish golf courses nearby.

On this privately owned 310 acre island, home of the world renowned Waterford Castle Hotel, sits a wonderful parkland golf course. Designed by Des Smyth, former Ryder Cup player, and opened in 1992, this 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course, complete with luxurious clubhouse, leads you through mature woodland and parkland. The course itself runs to 6,814 yards, off the medal tees, and covers an area of over 200 acres.

Despite being completely surrounded by water, Waterford Castle has an additional four internal water features on the second, third, fourth and sixteenth holes and can even boast of having their own Swilken Bridge. Though not built by the Roman Empire!

The layout reveals attractive rolling fairways and subtle contoured greens, magnificently blended into the sensational setting of this Island Dream.
