Decent Par 3 Courses

david_1888

As the title says guys, looking for a decent par 3 course in or around Dublin to work on my short game. Always going to the Burrows up by Sandyford, is there any other nice courses around?
Cheers

Bit of a trek from sandyford but there's balheary in swords. It's not amazing but I like it for short game practise. Holes range in length from around 95-160yds, greens small but generally pretty good to putt on if a little slow. It's €9 a pop.

I'm not sure if the par3 course at Tyrrellstown is gone now. Apparently the driving range closed about a year ago according to lads on here but no one mentioned the par3 course. If it has gone, it's a shame because it was a great little course and really well maintained.

Yeh Blanchardstown Golf Centre closed at xmas. I just rang them there to make sure and the lady on the phone told me everything is gone. Shame.

Athgoe, near Newcastle, is a great little course. Really tricky greens.

milltown

Liffey Valley par 3, on the roundabout at the Leixlip slip road onto the N4. Good variety of holes from about 60 yards to 205 if memory serves. Greens are reasonable for a par 3.

Then there's always The Heritage in Killenard. The par 3 course there is maintained to the same standard as the championship course. Beautiful but I think it's only open to hotel guests and club members.

Have you tried leopardstown, I have never played it, only seen the few holes beside the driving range. It's not a par 3 but looks like there are a lot of short holes.

Hi. On the Northside you would also have Howth (Deer Park). Quite a good par-3.

As a previous poster suggests try Leopardstown. Its basically just a long par 3 course but is pretty straight forward and at €20 a round is pretty cheap.

There is a great course on the outskirts of Dublin in Wicklow called Geln Mill. Definitely worth a round- I think it was €12....
