Festival of Golf, 4th November, Dublin... Win a Fourball

Views down the 18th at Co. Cavan GC

On Tuesday, November 4th, the Ballsbridge Hotel hosts the third Dublin Golf Night, now known as the ‘Festival of Golf’, organised by Failte Ireland. There will be 58 golf courses (see list below) represented, showing off their courses, promoting green fee deals (for single golfers and society golfers alike), golf getaways, membership options and there will plenty of freebies during the event as well.

Oh, and it’s free for all visitors.

Rosapenna's par three 16th hole - Sandy Hills

It takes place between 5pm and 9pm so grab a few friends (or go solo) and make an evening of it.

As well as the golf clubs (see the full list below) there will be a full golf simulator to try out, and, if you’re after a bit of expert tuition, that will be available, too.

Farnham Estate, views over the 8th green back up the 6th hole.

It’s all about golf so some along and make some plans for 2015. Please share this post and let's spread the word.

The par three 4th at Headfort New

I have a four ball prize up for grabs at Killeen Castle Golf Club, worth €300. All you have to do is leave a Comment on the blog (which won't be published), with your name and email address and the answer to this question: How many 'castle' golf clubs will be at the event?
