About The Area
Maynooth is a superb choice for golfers who want an Ireland golf holiday with championship courses, luxury resort comfort and easy access to Dublin. Set in County Kildare, around 25 km west of the capital, Maynooth has a relaxed university-town feel, with cafés, pubs, restaurants, historic streets and Maynooth Castle close to the centre.
The main draw is Carton House, a five-star golf resort set within 1,100 acres of private parkland just 25 minutes from both Dublin Airport and Dublin city centre. It is home to two championship golf courses: the classic parkland O’Meara Course and the inland-links-style Montgomerie Course. The O’Meara, designed by Mark O’Meara, is a par-73 parkland layout that winds through ancient woodland and along the River Rye, while the Montgomerie is a par-72 course measuring 7,301 yards from the championship tees, with a more rugged, strategic feel.
Away from the fairways, Maynooth works beautifully for golfers who want a little more from their trip. You can explore the castle, enjoy Carton House’s spa and estate setting, head into Dublin for sightseeing and nightlife, or build in extra golf around Kildare and the east coast.
For UK golfers, Maynooth is ideal for a tailor-made Ireland golf break, whether you want a luxury resort stay, a Dublin golf weekend or a wider Irish itinerary. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotel, tee times, transfers and route.
