Is there any golf near Dublin that we could reach via public transportation? I would like a nice course but certainly not over the top as we are NOT over the top golfers?

Royal Dublin Golf Club

Royal Dublin Golf Club lacks the scenery and dunes of Dublin's other A-list links, but its location three miles from the city center makes it ideal for visitors who don't have a car. Public transportation like bus routes or a short cab ride will get you there. This historic club established in 1885 is the second oldest in Ireland, but work done by Martin Hawtree in 2006 added 450 yards and brought the course up to modern standards. Its subtleties will punish any scorecard.

and from another board:http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2057053168
that board list a lot of public courses and what buses to take.

Have you has any experience with any of the courses mentioned?

Royal Dublin has hosted the Irish Open and, as a championship course, would be a little intimidating for a novice golfer.

Sorry if I misled you we are not novice golfers.
