Corballis Links Golf Club

Overview

Corballis Links Golf Club is a beautiful golf course located along the North Dublin coastline. With a history that goes back over 100 years, it was fully developed in 1939. This course is perfect for golfers looking for a unique mix of nature and strategy. It’s just a quick 20-minute drive from Dublin city centre and is one of the best links golf courses near Dublin. At 4,624 yards long and a par of 66, Corballis offers a fun challenge that’s great for golfers of all skill levels, focusing on accuracy rather than just strength.

Corballis Golf Course takes full advantage of its beautiful coastal landscape. The course has fairways that wind through natural dunes and tall grasses. There are seven par-3 holes, with many measuring under 150 yards, which means players need to have great short-game skills, especially with the strong sea breezes. The fairways are narrow, requiring accurate drives, and the greens have different levels, surrounded by deep bunkers.

This setup poses a challenge to the quick, smooth surfaces. The course offers a nice variety with reachable par-4 holes, blind shots, and interesting doglegs that change with the wind from the Irish Sea. Corballis is easy to play in any weather and is always in top condition, making it perfect for solo games or group outings.

Corballis Links Golf Club is known for its unique challenges and fun gameplay. Don’t be fooled by its short length; the coastal winds can turn an easy par-3 hole into a tough challenge. You might need everything from a pitching wedge to a long iron, depending on the conditions.

Being accurate is very important because wayward shots can end up in thick grass or hard bunkers, which punishes those who are too confident and rewards those who are patient and strategic. Many golfers say it’s a “thinking person’s links,” as managing the wind and reading the greens can make all the difference between success and struggle.

Signature Holes

At Corballis Links, one of the signature holes is the 6th hole. This is a 103-yard par-3 that starts from a high tee and aims toward the crashing waves below. It’s a beautiful shot that requires a very accurate tee shot to hit a narrow green that sits high above the sea. The winds can make it even more challenging!

Another great hole is the 1st, which is a 144-yard par-3. This hole also tests your skills because the yardage can change depending on the wind. The 4th hole is a clever par-4 that makes you think about your aim when you hit.

These holes, along with the seven short par-3s on the course, capture the true spirit of links golf.
