I can safely tell you that Fingal (north Co. Dublin) has the most courses of any district in Ireland

"Fingal Dublin offers golfers a multitude of no less than twenty six golf courses and boasting one of the highest concentration per square mile in Europe"

Are you sure they didn't mean a multitude of horses?

Killarney with 7 would probably be hard to beat. Three of them are 9-hole courses though.

Edit : I think the Gleneagles Hotel still also has its own Par 3 golf course so that would probably bring it to 8.

Its a pitch and putt course, so it stands at 7.

Back around 1994-95 I remember playing par 3 golf there . . . some sites now mention both a golf and a pitch and putt course (eg http://www.booking.com/hotel/ie/gleneaglehotel.en.html ) but the official site does now seem to just mention pitch and putt.

For us youngsters with experience of pitch and putt only at the time this "Par 3 Golf" at the Gleneagles was considered a big step up!

Sorry, I should clarify.

There is a pitch and putt course there now ( a few holes down the back were taken away for the house that is being built there)

The Par 3 course you are referring to, otherwise known as the yellow course maybe (before my time) was indeed a fine course from what ive been told, but was built over to make room for the apartments that are currently there.

Dublin 24 area would have 9 - Slade Valley, Beech Park, South County, Hazel Grove, Newlands, Citywest x 2, Dublin Mountain and whatever that old Ballinascorney is now called (Dublin City I think)

Had a feeling the property boom might have had something to do with it.

How did I manage to put an 's' onto the end of Gleneagle, and not once, but twice :eek::pac:
