    If any Stackstown member feels like watching me embarrass myself around 18 holes and signing my card after feel free to put yourselves down for 15:10 on Friday. :S

    Won't go wrong with Grange Castle. Professionally run club, course in good condition, lovely greens.

    I am thinking of joining Old Conna next year as it suits my location and I know some members. I enjoy the course and find that it is always in perfect condition.

    I would be interested in hearing peoples thoughts on the the course, the club feel members etc and how it stacks up to others in South Dublin.

    Old Conna is in Wicklow.
    Wicklow is the best county for golf courses in Ireland imo. Not many (if any) substandard courses.

    I'm fairly sure you could class Old Conna as close to South Dublin.

    I was a junior member in old conna, but my dad is still there now. Members are nice, may be tough to get on timesheet at the peak times. Been years since I played it, but it's apparently much better than when I was there (15 years ago...christ). Enjoyable round!

    Its actually in Dublin, and its a really good well maintained course with a super club house.

    My bad. I just associate it with Bray, but it's just inside the border it seems.
    Ah well, Wicklow's loss is Dublin's gain.

    The address is Wicklow alright.

    Re price, I think it's like 1400 per year. Could be wrong on that though

    Hi,

    Looking to revive this topic. I’m a low teens handicap, moved to South Dublin this year and looking at clubs in the area. Any more recent recommendations? The proposals issue has me a bit stumped as I don’t know many members around here, but everyone seems to be doing it that way!

    Anecdotally I've heard some clubs, especially if they've no waiting list, will hook you up with a proposer and seconder if you have a chat with them. At most they might put in a call to your home club.

    Massive choice in south Dublin, and really all depends on your budget and expectations/wants. Head 15 mins out the N7 and you've the likes of Newlands, Beech Park, Slade Valley, Castlewarden (ok its Kildare). Closer to the suburbs there's anything from Grange/Castle/Milltown to Stackstown/Edmondstown/Rathfarnham etc.
