Corrstown Golf Club

Kilsallaghan parish has been farmland on the ancient Drogheda mail road since at least the 12th century, when Anglo-Norman families held it as part of their Pale estates. The Topographical Dictionary of Ireland records the ruins of Kilsallaghan Castle as a prominent local feature in 1837 — its remains still stand near the course. The Fieldstown River, flowing north towards Swords, runs along the northern boundary of the property: Eddie Connaughton's design routes water through the layout at every opportunity, making the river part of the course's DNA rather than an obstacle to be avoided.

The club was founded in 1991 and the first nine holes opened in 1993; the River and Meadow courses combined into an 18-hole championship layout opened in 1995, giving Corrstown its 27 holes across three configurations. Working across 184 acres, Connaughton created a course defined by strategic water usage: the best par 5s on the River and Meadow combinations are consistently cited among the strongest inland holes in north Dublin. The island-green 18th — the approach requiring a full carry over water to a green entirely surrounded by a moat — is the signature moment, rated index 3 (third hardest on the card) and unplayable from most positions if the ball goes left or right.

Dublin Airport is 20 minutes south, which makes this the most practical tee-and-fly arrangement in the Dublin region. The Orchard nine provides a shorter, gentler option when combined with either of the other nines — useful for groups with mixed handicaps. Swords Castle (8 km south), a medieval archiepiscopal castle, is free to visit.
