€18 for 18 holes is just crazy, no wonder the place is empty. Who ever came up with that pricing plan hasn't a clue, no point in charging Irish prices and the place empty. Why not leave it at max €10 for 18 and try and entice people to play. I won't be playing at those prices anyway.

Yeah its a bit silly when you consider that the proper 9 hole course in Stepaside which is also owned and run by the DLR county council is only €17 for 18 holes?

Played on this a while back. Great par 3 apart from the greens. They are just too fast. Was hitting most greens with off the tee but the they'ed bounce off because of the greens. Its like putting on an astro tuff pitch. Not my cup of tea. Pity because the holes are nicely laid out. Prices could be a bit lower aswell.

Said this a few times, including above but the pricing his poor IMO especially for the weekend and playing 18 holes.

played this today, nice layout and some nice challenging holes, I also like the idea of multiple tee boxes

the big let down thought was the greens, I thought I was playing Augusta they were so fast

Greens - although they receive a shot fairly well, they are impossible to chip onto and putt on. There are just not true and the ball hops and skips along for every putt

Overall
A nice little track to tighten up your short iron and chipping game

I'm not sure if I would be rushing back though, unless I lived in the area

So, after a few years use how is the course and in particular the greens holding up? Pricing seems to have dropped to €10 for 18 which seems incredible value. Worth playing?

You do know its a par 3 course with artificial greens?

Yes but I don't know how it actually plays. I'm equidistant to the Marley Course or some of the Stepaside Par 3 courses so looking for a steer as to whether it's worth going to Marlay or whether I should stick to the Stepaside courses.

This time of year, I would go Stepaside or similar. Marlay's main attraction is that it plays all year. The artificial grass is a novelty but I don't think it is particularly good preparation for the "real thing".
