Gold Coast Golf Club is a championship parkland by-the-sea course. Mature tree-lined fairways laid out in 1939 are cleverly mingled with the long and challenging newer holes. Set along the shoreline of Dungarvan Bay, Gold Coast Golf Club is a scenic and challenging 18 hole championship golf course bordered by the Atlantic Ocean with unrivalled panoramic views of Dungarvan Bay and the Comeragh Mountains.
18 Hole – Par 72 – 6,478 yards
- At 6,478 yards off the back tees, the course presents a real challenge for the discerning golfer wishing to test their skill in a magnificent and spectacular location.
- The course was extended in the 1990’s from a 9 hole to an 18 hole championship length golf course. Maurice Fives, the course architect, cleverly mingled the old and the new.
- The course offers unrivalled views of Dungarvan Bay, the Irish Sea and Helvick Head. It’s worth walking the course simply for the scenery.
- The 344 yards 1st gets a most enjoyable round off to a challenging start, for this is one of the original holes and is lined on both sides of the fairway by trees.
- Several holes make full use of the course’s stunning waterfront position.
- The signature 15th remains one of the most admired, calling for a drive across an inlet of the bay before a precise approach to a well-defended green.
- The closing stretch is equally striking, with the long par five at the 16th setting the tone for a memorable finish.
- The 18th, a superb par five, rises towards an elevated green overlooking Dungarvan Bay, offering a spectacular viewpoint and a true grandstand finish as players complete their round.
