Donabate Golf Club (Blue/Yellow)

Overview: Donabate Golf Club ~ Blue/Yellow is the exact 18-hole combination of the Blue and Yellow nines at Donabate’s member-owned 27-hole parkland course in north County Dublin. The club describes three distinct loops, mature trees, water features and sand-based greens. Current rating data lists the Blue/Yellow combination at par 72 and 6,172 metres, approximately 6,751 yards, while the longer Blue/White card is also published. The pair name is important because the third Red loop creates a different 18-hole round at the same facility.

History: Donabate Golf Club was founded in 1925 and has developed into one of the north Dublin peninsula’s established golf clubs. The current course is a three-nine layout, allowing the club to offer different combinations while maintaining a full visitor and member operation. The available sources focus on the club’s founding and current structure rather than a named architect, so that field remains unclaimed here.

Did You Know? Donabate’s three loops are one reason the club can provide variety without moving between facilities. Blue/Yellow is a full 18-hole round, but the same property also supports Blue/Red and Red/Yellow combinations. The USGA rating record is useful because it confirms the pair as an 18-hole par-72 identity rather than leaving the directory label as an unverified combination.
