Just a few lines to say how much of a great day we had on our recent visit to Dungarvan G.CThe course was in superb condition and the food we had afterwards in the clubhouse was a match for anywhere. Very good quality and very reasonably priced. We would hope to return at some time in the future. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality.
Sunday 8th September 2024, Joseph Flavin, Beggars Golf Society
Just a note of thanks from the society to the wonderful day we have with ye last Sunday. We can find no fault with anything and the course and clubhouse is a real credit to ye. I had spoken to Brian Beatty, a friend of mine, prior to our arrival and indicated that because it was your centenary year, we would like to stay on and have some food etc, so that we could show our support for your 100 years. This was the best move ever. The food was fabulous and fair play to Tom and his staff in the kitchen, they were just great. The lads really enjoyed staying on later in the evening, one of the highlights of the trip in fairness. Thank you once again and we look forward to doing it all over again in 2025. With the best of memories – Joe

All had a good day and the food was fabulous. We will consider Dungarvan again next year.
Friday 6th September 2024, Michael Burns, B.R.A.T.S Golf Society
We had a very enjoyable day on your Centenary year celebrations, thanks to Karen, David, Tom and all your staff for the great welcome we got, thanks again and our society will return in the near future.
Sunday 25th August 2024, Tom Givens, Pat Conway Memorial Society
I represent a society we set up in 2022 to honour this man, a cousin and dear friend, who passed away due to Covid in early 2022. Our group is comprised, of a group of men mainly from Limerick, Tipperary and Dublin. We are just back from our third trip in a row to Dungarvan and the Sunny South East. Our schedule is The Gold Coast on the Saturday, Lawlors Hotel on the Saturday night and Dungarvan Golf Club on the Sunday morning. What a wonderful place Dungarvan is! We have had the very odd rain shower, but by and large, three years in a row of sunny day golf on the third weekend of August. I have been here before several times with other societies and groups over the years and you would wonder to yourself, does it ever actually rain down here. It is more or less a given now, amongst our lads, that Dungarvan will be an annual pilgrimage for our group in August, going forward. We have already booked for the same weekend in 2025.
Dungarvan Golf Club is a wonderful golf course and is set in the most beautiful surroundings, set against the background image of the forestry of the Comeragh mountains on one side and Dungarvan Bay on the other. A marvellous place to play golf, very reasonable green fees, flat walking, lovely scenery, a mix of lovely golf holes and a place to relax and enjoy your game of golf, in the peace and quiet of the countryside. I can’t say enough good things, about the people who work there, from Karen and Madeline in the office (who are always so helpful and kind to me right throughout the year with updates on booking, etc,) to David in the proshop and to Tom Daly, the caterer, who always puts such great food in front of us, before the long journey home on the Sunday evening. They are wonderful, friendly people who are always so willingly generous with their time.
I apologise for being a bit long winded in my review, but I honestly can’t say a bad word about Dungarvan Golf Club or its great people. What a place to live! 10/10.
Monday 12th Aug 2024, Liam Deane.
My wife Patricia and I are keen golfers, and we were visiting Dungarvan for a few days last week. We had played a couple of games in Tramore and West Waterford before we booked to play in Dungarvan GC in the Thursday Open competition.
We arrived to a friendly welcome from David in the pro shop – a real gentleman. We then played your lovely course which was in great condition – well maintained with beautiful greens. Had lunch afterwards and got well treated by Tom and his friendly team. A great experience, which we will recommend to our golfing friends. Thanks to all at your great club.
Tues 16th July 2024, Catherine Bennett, Open Classic
Everybody very friendly and helpful. We would come back anytime, very satified with course, clubhouse and facilities.
Saturday 11th May 2024 Diarmuid Heafey, Old Farts Golf Society
Just a note to say we had a wonderful outing to your golf club last Saturday last. Thanks for making sure the sun shone the whole day!! From start to finish, everything was superb. The course was perfect, the bar and catering after golf was excellent, as most group members eat/drank on the balcony. It made us feel like we were abroad. Also thanks for the Fourball voucher and the golfballs. The name of Dungarvan will be whacked around golf clubs in Tipperary and beyond throughout the year!!! Again, thanks and hopefully we’ll see you all again in the not too distant future.
Tuesday 19th Sept 2023, Margaret Coakley Doneraile Seniors Society
We had a great day everyone enjoyed the day out, food beautiful and we got VIP treatment. Weather great, got a bit windy towards the end, otherwise perfect, course in good order. Thanks again.
Sunday 17th September 2023, Joe Flavin, Beggars Golf Society
14 of us from the UK played Dungarvan Golf Club on Sunday last, after a miserable few days of rain but the course was in great condition. This is a challenging golf course with some great holes, the 2nd in particular is tough one. Some lovely scenic views as you wander around the course. As part of the Dungarvan Triangle it offers amazing value for money and is well worth a visit. The clubhouse is clean and tidy and the drinks and food are lovely and again good value for money. Thanks Dungarvan Golf Club, we will be back.
Saturday 16th Sept 2023, Ber Canniffe, Bandon Golf Club Ladies.
All the ladies enjoyed the outing to Dungarvan last Saturday. They liked the golf course and they enjoyed the meal afterwards. I must say we got a great welcome from Tom and we did not get a drop of rain.
Friday 1st Sept, Mick Palmer, Penny Hill Golf Society
Just a quick note about our outing at your club on Friday the 1st of September. It was the start of our captain’s weekend, and the course was in fantastic condition considering the amount of rain we had in the previous two months, we had 60 golfers out and everyone to man thoroughly enjoyed the golf course and the facilities, all the team there were brilliant and really looked after us and made us feel so welcome, I would ask you to pass on our thanks to all of them and I would also like to thank you for all your help in making our captains weekend a great one, we are already looking forward to our next visit .Thanks again.

Everyone thought the course was one of the best we played in a long time. The condition of the place was exceptional. The bar and catering were also top notch. We will be back again for sure.
Fri 16th & Sat 17th June 2023, Liam Tynan Group
We wanted to thank you for helping arrange the tee times and the brilliant time we had at your course. The golf course was in brilliant condition and the service for all working there was great. We will definitely be looking to book another group event in Dungarvan at your course. Thanks again for everything.
20th May 2023, Johnny McDonnell Roscrea GC.
Play here 2 – 3 times per year, love to come down. Bar service is top class!
6th May 2023, Gerard Smith, AIB Golf Society
We just want to say a big thank you to the Club for hosting our Outing on Saturday….It was a real success, all of the players (2 societies of AIB merged for the day!) were very complimentary of the course, especially the greens, they were in incredible shape…
Despite the recent unsettled weather the course itself was in great shape, and we managed to get around the course, enjoy the great views as always, but most of all, each others company upstairs after, where Tom Daly as always served up his usual high standard of food, as he has been doing for a while now for ye!
So please compliment your greenkeeping staff for us for the excellent job they have done…
The day went so well, and the fact we are looking to have the event next year again.
20th April 2023 David Power, Portlaw
Great course and clubhouse!
17th October 2022, Eileen O’Leary (Treasurer), Senior Womens Golf Society
We certainly enjoyed our day. Course was in terrific condition and dry underfoot which we were not expecting (after the deluge in Cork on Sunday). The hospitality of Lady Captain June and her helpers who directed our players to to the tee boxes was much appreciated by all – normally a lot of panic !
Restaurant facilities were excellent and buffet worked a treat – once we came in we were sitting with our dinner almost immediately. And the food was delicious. I have no doubt that we will be back in Dungarvan in the near future.
20th July 2022, Denis Kieran, Mashie Niblicks Society
What a great day we had in sunny Dungarvan Golf Club where a gentle breeze kept us from overheating and a lovely flat course framed by a backdrop of wooded mountains proved an interesting challenge for the 25 Mashies and their 3 guests last Wednesday. Full marks to Frank O’Flynn for his skills in persuasion and organisation for arranging the biggest away day this year, complete with fine weather and an hospitable club. The many accolades on the Whatsapp group speak loudly of the appreciation of the members for a job well done.
21st May 2022, Liz Moloney, Lady Captain Castlemartyr Golf Club
To say that we had a fantastic day was an understatement, it could not have gone any better! The weather was fabulous, the sun shone, the course was in top condition and the team in the Club House could not have done enough for us. Grace and Naz in the restaurant were outstanding, and Chris, the chef who did a great job. Sean O Sullivan in the Pro Shop was very helpful, I even bought a club from him! David, your Pro was also there and could not have been nicer. It really was a huge success and all our ladies loved the day out! Thanks very much one again and I wish you and all the team in Dungarvan a wonderful year and much success.
25th September 2021, Michael Mullane Bridge Bar Society
We attended on Saturday in glorious weather. We found the course in pristine condition, and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. The Bridge Bar outing is an annual outing and I can assure you we will strongly consider returning in 2022. Many thanks for your assistance and courtesy. The crew were very impressed with Tom Daly’s cuisine and friendly manner.
18th September 2021, Eric Raethorne, Waterpark Golf Society – Captain.
Our society visited Dungarvan Golf Club last weekend. As usual the course was laid out in excellent condition with some tough hole to negotiate and is a credit to the Captain, his committee and ground keeping staff. The food in the restaurant was excellent with a full menu available before and after golf and the staff were amazing. Thanks as well to Karen and Jimmy in the office for their superb organisation and professionalism prior to arriving to the course. David Hayes (Club Pro) and Jake looked after us in the pro shop with advice around handicap indexes etc. before we played.
The weather last Saturday was superb, we had food and our prize presentation on the balcony overlooking the 18th green in splendid sunshine, all in all 10/10 I would highly recommend a visit for other societies and we will certainly be back next year.
Aug 6th 2021, Mark Horgan Ram Head Society

“Our society visited Dungarvan Golf Club last weekend and despite the public health protocols we were very warmly received in the Clubhouse and Restaurant. The course was in tip top shape, presents some very challenging holes against a wonderful scenic backdrop and is a credit to the Captain, his committee and ground keeping staff. The food in the restaurant was excellent before and after golf and the staff were amazing. Thanks as well to Karen in the office for her superb organisation and professionalism. We would highly recommend a visit for other societies”.
September 2020 Ambrose Guilfoyle, East Cork Golf Society
“Enjoyed our trip to Dungarvan , Course in superb condition, staff in Proshop most welcoming, food was excellent with a great choice on menu. Tom and staff superb, a great time had by all.”
August 2020 Vincent Hayes, Dungarvan Golf Triangle Visitor
“We played Dungarvan GC this summer and it was a fantastic experience. Our group consisted of low, medium and high handicappers and I can attest it is enjoyable experience for all abilities. The course was in fantastic shape even after heavy rain the night before. For me these are some of the most interesting green complexes I’ve played on this year.
However what really made for a great day was the level of service, from Karen in the office who arranged our passes for the weekend and was ever so friendly(and may I add posted back foc an item of clothing left behind by one foolish member of our group) to the pro in the shop who welcomed us with a smile, to the waitress who served us some fantastic food and pints of Guinness post round, every interaction was pleasant and welcoming. A rare experience where a visitor is treated as a member for a day. Looking forward to coming back next year!”
August 2020 John O’Neill, Organiser, Ram Head Golf Society
“We thank the Captain and committee of Dungarvan GC for facilitating the Ram Head GS annual outing last Friday 07 August.The course was in wonderful condition and the clubhouse staff were welcoming, as always.’“
October 2019 Mary Sheahan Senior Womens Golf Society Munster
“We heard nothing but compliments about the day both course and meal and the way we were looked after. I heard many ladies pass the comment they were dying to play it again under better conditions. I am sure future committees will consider playing your course again. I myself have it pencilled in my diary for next year.
Thanking you again for looking after us so well and allowing us on the course after such awful rain.“
September 2019 Helena O’Sullivan Ladies Treasurer, Kinsale Golf Club
“The ladies from Kinsale Golf Club really enjoyed our day at Dungarvan GC, the course was a delight to play and it is always a pleasure to play there. We certainly will be back to play again.
I would also like to commend your staff who were very helpful, especially the girls in the restaurant/bar, the food was absolutely delicious and I would recommend it as a place to stop for food.”

July 2019 Killian O’Mahony Captain of Irish Distillers Golf Society 2019 wrote:
“Months before we arrived at Dungarvan Golf Club to play one of our annual society outings we knew that were heading to the right place. The booking of dates and confirmation of numbers leading up to the outing was made so easy with the help of Karen in the office. The weather that caught most of the country with the years heaviest rainfall caused a cancellation but rescheduling was straight forward and they fitted us in on an already busy day for the club two weeks later and what a day it was. Sun was shining, everybody was smiling and the course was absolutely immaculate.
The fairways were an absolute pleasure to play from and the greens were consistant, clean and tough the whole way around. Every hole requires planning and offers a great challenge for any level of golfer. Between the food in the clubhouse, the prize giving we did on the balcony, in the shining sun, over looking the 18th and 9th green and the welcoming energy of the staff, a great day was had by all and we’re very much looking forward to returning next year. “
