A huge plus is the car park area which can accommodate well over 200 vehicles in generous spaces, almost twice the previous capacity.
Significantly, well over €400,000 has been invested in the upgrade of the golf course, including new greens, tees, bunkering, tree planting and the installation of a modern irrigation system. Yet, green fees remain affordable and the pricing structure
makes the golf course very appealing, particularly to local offices and public houses wishing to arrange a competitively priced round on a mid-length course in a full service environment.
We have heavily invested in the drainage and sanding programme to the driving range which allows to remain open as much as possible in the worst weather conditions.
In December 2017 Alan Dunning was appointed General Manager of Leopardstown Golf Centre replacing the retiring Joe O’Connor. Alan joins Leopardstown following a long career in the golf industry where most recently he was manager of Citywest Golf.
“I am delighted to be joining a fantastic facility in Leopardstown Golf Centre. It really is the premium practice facility in Dublin and I look forward to showcasing that to all of our customers and hopefully a lot of new ones too. A lot of money has
been invested by HRI in the driving range with new golf balls yearly, new mats and new machines. The continuous sanding and drainage programme is a huge benefit to the range and cannot be underestimated. It allows us to stay open when a lot of courses
and other practice facilities are closed so golfers don’t get cabin fever!
The golf course has seen a lot of improvement too and our ladies golf societies are thriving. There is a great atmosphere in the golf centre every day and with all the facilities that are in place such as McGuirks Golf and The Wooden Spoon Café I am sure
that will continue for a long time to come.
We are delighted to have a team of Golf Professionals that have such pedigree as John Langan, Noel Fox and Hazel Kavanagh who have set up Impact Golf at Leopardstown. They are a great addition to Leopardstown and offer the highest standards of tuition
available anywhere.
A lot of emphasis is placed on Junior Golf and we are delighted to have so many local schools using our facility. We encourage them as much as we can as they are the future generations of the game. The Professionals run camps for kids during Easter and
Summer time as well as giving individual lessons. The can be contacted at [email protected]”
