Powerscourt East Course

The Powerscourt East Course is an 18-hole, par 73 championship golf course located on the Powerscourt Estate in County Wicklow, Ireland. Designed by the notable Irish architect, Eddie Hackett, the course opened in 1991 and is widely recognised as one of the premier golf courses in Ireland. The design philosophy behind the course was to preserve and incorporate the natural features of the sweeping landscape. This is reflected in the course’s mature trees, limestone walls and water features, which create the impression of a much older course. The natural beauty of the course is complemented by some of the best courses architects can design. Strategic bunkering, tricky mounding, elevated tees and challenging water hazards will put even the most experienced players to the test. There are also undulations throughout the course, which actively provide added difficulty. Although it is considered a championship course, it is also great for all levels of golfers. It has been noted that the East Course is enjoyable at all levels and handicaps, allowing even the average golfer to shoot a good score if they can maintain control and accuracy. ​ Powerscourt East Course is widely regarded as one of the top golf courses in Ireland and, as such, it attracts numerous golfers all year round. The stunning scenery and testing layout are sure to create an unforgettable golf experience.
