The European Club is a rare treasure being one of about only 180 links amongst the world's 30,000-some golf courses and one of the greatest and most admired. ExcessEUR35million.
Enjoying a magical beach-front position on the Irish Sea this picturesque and World renowned golf links presents a truly unique opportunity to own a private golfing heaven located in the grand sand dunes at Brittas Bay nearby to Dublin City and airport.
The links of The European Club has been voted into various listings of the World's Top-100 Golf Courses with three holes being voted amongst the 500 Greatest Golf Holes in the World at the turn of the Millennium by an alliance of twelve golf magazines worldwide and hole seven being listed in the world's Top-100 Holes Worldwide.
Many of the world's most renowned players have been down to play here including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Johnny Miller, Shane Lowry, Gary Player and Padraig Harrington. Woods holds the links record with a 67 while Harrington and McIlroy have won national championships here.
A unique feature of The European Club is that it was founded by world recognised golf course architect Pat Ruddy and his wife Bernardine in 1987 and he has worked diligently ever since seeking design perfection presenting a thing of beauty and an entertaining game for all players who choose their tees wisely. It is believed that this is the longest engagement of owner, designer, lover of the links in the history of the game and the result is awesome. More enduring than even the design (not owner) Donald Ross relationship with Pinehurst
The attractive clubhouse includes a managing apartment suite and presents majestical lifestyle overlooking the links, the dunes and extensive views of the Irish Sea with passing shipping. The whole occupies 193-acres (78.3 hectares), including sea frontage of a little short of a mile, and unspoiled pastoral views for miles inland to the Wicklow Mountains.
Privately owned, a purposeful decision was made to maintain a small membership, currently in the mid-80s, to give comfortable golf to the owners and members while affording the opportunity to accept visiting paying patrons to a level suited to financial planning. This gives a new owner the choice of remaining private, going ultra private or maximising commercial golf traffic through world visitor play and an enlarged membership.
Overall, the confluence of the Irish Sea and beach with such a renowned golf links, three private homes and the impressive clubhouse in the fashionable Brittas Bay location presents a truly unique and rare private golf estate.
The location is superb in the Sunny Southeast of Ireland and in a county known as the Garden of Ireland. Dublin City centre is just a 55-minute drive away on the N11 Motorway (63km- 39 mls) and Dublin International Airport about a 1hour 10-minute drive.
