Fingal Dublin Just minutes north of Dublin City lies Fingal Dublin, a golf rich area offering golfers a multitude of opportunities on no less than twenty eight golf courses and boasting one of the highest concentrations of courses per square mile in Europe. In this regard Fingal Dublin has often been likened to Myrtle Beach. Nestled along 88kms of Dublin Bay’s magnificent sandy coastline, which provides beauty as well as challenging hazards for golfers, is a variety of beautifully conditioned links and heathland golf courses. Inland Fingal Dublin’s picturesque open countryside provides the basis for superb parkland courses. Fingal Dublin golf courses come in all shapes and sizes (9, 18, 27 and 36 holes) and there's one to fit every wallet or level of player. If you’re up for it Fingal Dublin offers some of the most exciting golf challenges in Ireland. Golfing here can make for the holiday of a lifetime, and there’s a lot to do off course also. Fingal Dublin offers many recreational diversions, many outdoor, marine leisure and maritime activities and some of Dublin's best retail therapy. Fingal Dublin is renowned for its magnificent castles and stately homes, some dating back to the 12th century, many of which are set amid fine gardens in spacious demesnes. The area itself is characterised by tranquil hamlets in a rolling country landscape, picturesque seaside villages surrounded by sandy beaches and rugged coastline and vibrant urban towns of ancient heritage all offering excellent accommodation, fine restaurants, and friendly pubs.
