Where to stay

Dublin city

Dublin is the most practical base for the East Coast links, combining Portmarnock, Royal Dublin, and The Island Golf Club with one of Europe's most enjoyable city experiences. Most of Ireland's best courses are within a day's drive, making Dublin the ideal start and end point for an island-wide tour.

Golf access
Portmarnock is 20 minutes north of the city; Royal Dublin is on Bull Island inside the bay; The Island Golf Club at Donabate is 25 minutes north — all easily reached by road or DART.
Restaurants & evenings
One of Europe's great pub and dining cities, with Michelin-starred restaurants, neighbourhood bistros, and celebrated seafood.
Families
Museums, Dublin Castle, Kilmainham Gaol, and Phoenix Park provide a full range of family activities.

Malahide / Portmarnock

Staying in Malahide or Portmarnock puts you immediately beside Ireland's most celebrated parkland-coastal links while keeping Dublin within easy reach for evenings. Malahide's village atmosphere is notably more relaxed than the city.

Golf access
Portmarnock Golf Club and Portmarnock Hotel Links are within minutes; Dublin city is 20 minutes south.
Restaurants & evenings
Malahide village is well regarded for its restaurants and seafood bars on the Fingal coast north of Dublin.
Families
Malahide Castle and demesne, the village marina, and the sandy beach make it an appealing coastal base.
