GOLF CLUB

Dungarvan Golf Club is an 18-hole championship parkland course located just outside the town of Dungarvan, about 4 km from the town centre. The course lies close to Dungarvan Bay and the Waterford Greenway and is set against the backdrop of the Comeragh Mountains. It plays at 6,688 yards from the men's tees and 5,456 yards from the ladies' tees. The club maintains a staffed pro shop run by Head Professional David Hayes, who has been in the post since February 1996; the pro shop provides equipment and hire services including buggies, trolleys and club hire. On-site catering is available through the Links Bar & Restaurant, which is open year-round seven days a week. Visitors can take advantage of the Dungarvan Golf Triangle, a local offer that lets visiting golfers play three nearby championship courses for the price of two. The club publishes membership and visitor green fee information and handles bookings and enquiries through its office contact details. The setting and yardages make the course a straightforward reference for planning a round in the West Waterford area.

Dunmore East Golf Club is a clifftop, nine-hole course laid out along the shores of Dunmore East village. The course measures 2,317 metres and plays to a par of 35; it can also be played twice using alternate tee boxes to present an 18-hole challenge at par 70. A 2020 redesign by reGOLF’s Irish team (led by Jeff Lynch and Paul O’Brien) introduced two new greens, one built as an infinity-style green and another positioned close to a cliff edge, and reshaped holes to emphasise risk-and-reward shot-making amid natural valleys and ocean inlets. The club is GUI-affiliated since 1991 and welcomes golfers of varying abilities with green fee timeslots available daily and a range of membership options. Competitive member competitions take place six days a week during the summer season. Practical services include hire of golf buggies, clubs and trolleys from reception, and a resident golf professional who provides one-to-one coaching and runs junior summer camps. The setting offers panoramic sea views and easy access to the village and nearby coastal amenities, making it a straightforward option for visiting players and local members alike.
