Naas Golf Club

County Kildare, Ireland

Naas Golf Club is a traditional parkland course located in Kildare, Ireland, set on rolling terrain with lush, tree-lined fairways. The 18-hole course features a par of 72 and was extended from nine to eighteen holes in 1992. Holes 1 and 11-18 were redesigned by renowned architect Jeff Howes in 2002. The course is characterized by strategically placed bunkers, fast undulating greens, and mature trees including Elm, Beech, and Chestnut varieties. The back nine is framed by towering pines with elevated tee shots that add drama and excitement. Notable features include the elevated 13th par 5, which sweeps down to a valley lined with pines, and the signature 17th hole—a par 3 playing 178 yards over water that is widely feared by golfers. The course presents a moderate to challenging difficulty level, with narrow fairways on several holes (particularly holes 4, 5, and 7) that demand accuracy from the tee. The 18th concludes the round as a sweeping par 5 offering birdie opportunities. The course's design rewards precise shot-making while punishing errant play.
