In advance of the official opening of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s newly redeveloped 9 hole Marlay Golf Course a Special Sneak Peek Preview will take place at the venue on Friday 21st May.

The purpose of this Open Day is to showcase the fabulous new layout to the local community and wider general public. All golf on the day will be complimentary and golfers can book a tee time by visiting www.marlaygolfcourse.com or by calling 01 8609360.

Situated within the Council’s picturesque Marlay Park on Dublin’s Southside, Marlay Golf Course is a distinctive Par 3 layout that will provide affordable golf for all; from young to old and from the experienced club player to somebody new to the game.

Using state of the art technology and the latest generation of synthetic grasses the greens and tees have been developed to tournament standard. This comprehensive redevelopment will ensure that the greens remain in peak condition and will be playable year round with no requirement to close for frost or other weather related reasons.

Marlay Golf Course will re-open to the public on Friday 21st May.

The course had been closed to the public for a number of years but it has been completely remodeled with a new pavilion and top class golfing facilities.
