Venue

Foxrock Golf Course

County Dublin, Ireland

Foxrock Golf Club is a parkland course located in Foxrock, County Dublin, originally laid out in 1893 by golf professional Mr. Brown. The course was redesigned in 1914 by the legendary Harry Shapland Colt, one of golf's most celebrated architects. Colt's design philosophy embraced a movement away from traditional links courses toward heathland and parkland locations, making Foxrock one of his notable contributions to course design alongside world-renowned layouts like Pine Valley and Royal County Down. The course exemplifies Colt's architectural approach, featuring the characteristic design elements that have made his work internationally recognized. Foxrock stands among over 300 courses designed by Colt and his company, positioning it as a published work by this architectural great. The club maintains its traditional character while offering members and visitors the opportunity to experience a course shaped by both historical golf development and masterful design principles. The parkland setting provides the landscape context typical of Colt's preferred design environment during this era of golf course development.
