Castletroy Golf Club sits on the eastern outskirts of Limerick city, adjacent to the University of Limerick campus and twenty minutes from Shannon Airport. The parkland course is well-established and reliable — mature trees, good conditioning year-round, and a club with long experience of welcoming visiting golfers. For anyone arriving through Shannon and not heading straight to the coast, it is a useful first morning: close enough to the airport that jet lag is manageable, and enough course to clear the head before Lahinch or Ballybunion the next day.
Highlights
- Limerick city access
- Affordable parkland
- Shannon Airport proximity
