Donnycarney Golf and Bowls Club doesnā€™t have the same ring to it.

Originally in Clontarf but re-located following leasehold issues way back when. Clubhouse was formerly Donnycarney House. @myboyblue , Eugene Moore, former Laois legend - and my former Maths teacher - may have held the couse record here previously IIRC.

MGC was a hilly 9-hole near The Grand Hotel but they sold up in the 80s and bought current site with some of the proceeds - retaining their name of course.

A lot of the golf courses in Dublin are pitch and putt courses. My late uncle was a 4 handicapper in Forest Little. I turned up in my wellies for a society there one day and got 46 points. Told him to join a proper golf course.

33

Are there many actual Pitch and Putt courses in Dublin that arenā€™t up the mountains?

34

Used to be one in O Toole Park and one in Erinā€™s Isle. The one in Tolka Valley is gone. One still in the Deerpark

35

Club moved in 1990 it seems on a quick search. Risibly, current location is down as Beechwood, Malahide on their site.

36

Edenmore has a DCC one too.

There used to be one behind the houses on the coast from baldoyle Church to Sutton dart. And the fairview cymc. Think they considered themselves a serious outfit. Portmarnock still has one obviously.

38

Whereā€™s the Deerpark?

The only Deerpark Iā€™m aware of is where Crokes train a bit and there ainā€™t no Pitch and Putt course there

39

Malahide castle has one

Look at howth from any part of North Dublin and youā€™re looking at it.
