Claycastle pitch and putt club’s motto in Latin would surely be “aliquid pro sulum”, because it really does have “something for everyone”.

It is situated right on Youghal’s glorious seafront and will test experienced players, yet still be fun for beginners. The course is open all year round, and is open to the public, as well as having a thriving adult membership and a rapidly expanding Juvenile section.

Although only open since 1986 the course has evolved into one of the finest in Ireland and had the honour of hosting the National Gents matchplay in 2012. The course boasts several holes around a lake as well as a severely undulating, and hilly profile. It has been suggested that keeping 4’s off your card is more important than getting 2’s on the card. When the locals nickname a hole “doom & gloom” you know it’s going to be a test.

Children from the age of eight are welcome, as well as groups, and there is no need to pre-book.
