Donnycarney Golf and Bowls Club doesn’t have the same ring to it.

No then

It is literally on the wrong side of the tracks.

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.

He didn’t get that today nor yesterday

90s surely? I definitely walked home through it with a bag of cans on numerous occasions.

He won’t care, he’s living in the Marina in Malahide.

Would have to be very early 90s those houses are there a long time.

a park and some houses way better than elitist golf course

I can see a nice new stand and a wider pitch in parnell Park on the horizon here. Everyone’s a winner

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.

Are there many actual Pitch and Putt courses in Dublin that aren’t up the mountains?

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

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

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.

Where’s the Deerpark?

The only Deerpark I’m aware of is where Crokes train a bit and there ain’t no Pitch and Putt course there

Malahide castle has one

Look at howth from any part of North Dublin and you’re looking at it.
