Dun Laoghaire
The Curtis Cup was held at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club in June,
2016, reflecting the club’s size, quality and facilities. Certainly the
clubhouse is one of the plushest you will find. Set on a gentle
hillside, facing the Great Sugarloaf, there are three distinctive
nine hole loops. They combine different shapes and challenges.
The Lower nine drop away from the clubhouse onto mostly level
terrain with big water features; the Middle nine are the most
colourful and shapely with a combination of trees and water;
and the Upper nine offer the biggest changes in elevation, plenty
of doglegs whipping around bunkers and more exposure to the
wind. Which nine you prefer... well that’s always an interesting
discussion. Settle into the clubhouse and debate away.
The views, however, are always on show.
