My sister decided to move to Dublin recently, and we are going to visit her this spring. Looking to bring my clubs and play a couple of rounds while over there. I am looking for any recommendations about golf in the area. A short drive is fine, but this isn't really a golf trip, so I'm looking for local courses where I can go play a round without disappearing for a full day.
Portmarnock is option #1, and I know FEG's concierge service also mentions The Island Golf Club and Royal Dublin Golf Club, but I thought I would open it up to any and all recommendations. I would certainly prefer an under the radar, pure golf experience instead of a mainstream, tourist trap (as I'm sure all of us here would).
