Origins

The club grew from meetings held in late 1905 and secured its original Hacketstown ground on lease from the Holmpatrick estate. C. Pickeman, then Captain and Honorary Secretary of Portmarnock, carried out the initial course design, with Cecil Barcroft of Royal Dublin subsequently making improvements.

The course was formally opened on 14 April 1906.

Did You Know?
Club records show that 150 sheep and two rams were grazing the course at the end of 1910.

Development

Skerries gradually assembled its modern footprint through five separate land transactions, with the original Hacketstown property purchased in 1954 and further acquisitions including Drumlallery and Baldungan land bought in 1968. Eddie Hackett prepared a new course plan in 1969 and the new nine opened in June 1971. Hackett returned to inspect the course in 1979.

Today

Skerries is now an 18-hole mature parkland course with men's par 73 and women's par 74. Visitor golf is available, while the club continues to maintain practice, short-game, putting and professional facilities.
