Set in the mature parklands of West Dublin, Westmanstown Golf Club features an 18-hole championship course known for its tree-lined fairways, strategic layout and excellent year-round condition. With a mix of challenging and scenic holes, it offers a rewarding experience for golfers of all levels.
▶A welcoming opening hole designed to ease you into the round. The fairway subtly slopes to the left, so favour the left side to stay clear of the tall trees. Aim your drive toward the left bunker to create a good angle into the two-tiered green. A long tee shot is unnecessary, as water sits beside the bridge near the approach.
▶A gentle dogleg right with a narrow fairway that rewards accuracy off the tee. Missing right brings dense woodland into play. From the fairway, a mid-iron approach leads to a well-protected green—avoid drifting left, where a slope guards the putting surface.
▶Short but demanding, this par-3 offers very little margin for error. Bunkers guard both sides, and subtle green contours make precise club selection essential. A straight, well-struck shot is the key to success.
▶As the toughest hole on the front nine, this long par‑4 requires a confident tee shot to set up your second. The fairway is generous but demands attention—go left and you face a narrow sidehill lie. The green is raised and tight, so favour the centre of the fairway to give yourself the best chance for a birdie putt.
▶Play safely to the left off the tee. Aiming too far right brings fairway bunkers into play. For your second, commit to a full swing to find the centre of the green—flash those birdie hopes into view.
▶A mid-length par-3 requiring precise execution. The raised green slopes downward and is protected by water in front and bunkers on the sides. Any miss left or right is heavily punished.
▶This reachable par‑5 opens up after the tee shot. Lay-up in position to attack the green in two, but beware of trees hemming in your third shot. A successful lay-up strategy rewards you with a prime chance to reach in regulation.
▶The fairway bends gently left and slopes from right to left. A solid drive down the right half sets up your angle, but your approach will fall away into the green’s bottom shelf—adjust your club selection accordingly.
▶A challenging closing hole for the front nine. The two-tiered green is guarded by bunkers on the right and one at the front, with out-of-bounds long. Accuracy is critical on this testing par-3.
▶A long par-5 that tests both distance and decision-making. The ideal tee shot favours just right of the fairway bunker to open up the hole. On the lay-up, avoid the water hazard short of the green. A confident iron approach can set up a birdie chance, while a conservative line ensures a safe par.
▶A short par-4 offering an excellent birdie opportunity for those taking driver. The green features a prominent ridge that slopes downward—generous in the centre but punishing if you miss short or long. Precision to the heart of the green is rewarded.
▶A short uphill par‑3 that can trick less experienced golfers. The elevated green demands the perfect club choice, and missing putts roll away fast—land softly to hold your line on the surface.
▶A long par-4 with a demanding tee shot, with trouble lurking both left and right. A well-placed drive sets up a mid- to long-iron approach to a green featuring a subtle, hidden ridge and protected by a bunker on the left.
▶A fair straight par‑4. The green is subtle, with slopes that can frustrate errant approaches. Aim slightly left of centre for the best angle and avoid tricky pin positions near the edges.
▶One of the toughest challenges on the course. A narrow fairway and strategic bunkers call for accuracy from the tee. The small, sloped green is guarded by trouble both short and long—landing on the putting surface is essential to avoid a difficult up-and-down.
▶The longest par-3 on the course, demanding a solid long iron or hybrid. The green is heavily defended by bunkers and water, and misses long or right bring significant trouble. Trust your yardage and make a smooth swing.
▶A tight par-5,Trees on the right funnel the tee shot into a narrow corridor. Play conservatively off the tee to position yourself for a controlled second shot and a manageable approach to the green.
▶A dramatic risk-reward finishing hole. Favour the centre-left of the fairway to set up the best angle into the green. The approach must carry water that wraps around the front, while a bunker sits long—better long than short on this closing challenge.
