The European Club
Links Course in Brittas Bay, Ireland
The European Club, nestled in County Wicklow, Ireland, offers a compelling links golf experience shaped by the vision of designer and owner Pat Ruddy. Since opening for play in the early 1990s, the course has evolved under Ruddy's continuous guidance, presenting a stern but rewarding test across its undulating dunesland terrain. Characterized by deep, often railway-sleepered bunkers and firm, fast greens, the layout demands strategic thinking and precise ball-striking. While traditionally an 18-hole course, the European Club is uniquely known for often featuring 20 holes with the inclusion of two challenging extra par-3s. The club has a history of hosting significant events, including the Irish PGA Championships in 2007 and 2008, attracting notable professionals. Playing here provides a genuine links golf encounter on a course deeply personal to its creator.
