Knightsbrook Golf Resort sits on the edge of Trim — the town dominated by Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, dating to the 12th century and used as a filming location for Braveheart. The resort parkland is an enjoyable 18-hole layout with mature planting and good facilities, but Trim itself is the real draw: the Boyne Valley, Newgrange, and the Hill of Tara are all within thirty minutes, and the town is one of the most underrated heritage destinations in the country. For golfers combining a golf trip with a day or two in the ancient east, this is a natural base — and considerably easier to access than anything inside the Dublin ring road.
