Ballinastoe Golf Club

Overview: Set on the R755 in County Wicklow, Ballinastoe Golf Club sets out eighteen holes in inland course in the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. The setting is the defining feature: the land rises and falls through a rural landscape rather than following a flat suburban grid, so the round has a distinctly upland character. A current Irish golf directory lists the course at par 70 and 6,088 metres from its white tees, which is approximately 6,657 yards. The profile keeps the description focused on the exact Ballinastoe course in Roundwood, not on nearby mountain attractions.

History: Publicly available current material is stronger on the course’s playing details than on a documented architect or opening date. Those fields are therefore left blank rather than filled from an unverified association. What can be stated safely is that Ballinastoe is an established Wicklow golf venue with a full 18-hole routing and a course identity tied to the Roundwood area. Its appeal comes from the relationship between golf and the surrounding highland landscape, not from a claimed designer story that the available sources do not substantiate.

Did You Know? The published length is given in metres, as is common in Irish course material. Converting 6,088 metres produces roughly 6,657 yards, so the yardage in this profile is a rounded imperial equivalent rather than a second, independently published tee figure. That distinction matters for a course whose playing length can change by tee and whose natural terrain makes elevation part of the test.
