Frequently Asked Questions
What's the standout feature of playing Old Conna Golf Course?
Old Conna truly shines with its dramatic elevation changes and the incredible panoramic views you'll get of the Wicklow Mountains and the Irish Sea. It's a proper test of your shot-making, especially when the wind picks up, making club selection crucial on those elevated tees.
When is the best time of year to experience Old Conna's course conditions?
We recommend visiting between late spring and early autumn - May through September - for the best chance of drier fairways and more predictable weather. While Ireland is always a gamble, these months offer the most pleasant playing conditions and longer daylight hours to truly enjoy the scenery.
How challenging is Old Conna for a mid-handicapper, and are there any signature holes to look out for?
Old Conna offers a fair but firm challenge for mid-handicappers, with its undulating greens and strategic bunkering demanding precision. Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th; it's a stunning downhill shot with a tricky green that can easily add a stroke or two to your card.
What's the typical cost for a round at Old Conna, and what amenities can I expect?
Green fees at Old Conna are generally very reasonable for the quality of golf you're getting, often ranging from €40-€70 depending on the season and time of day. You'll find a welcoming clubhouse with a good bar and restaurant, perfect for recounting your round over a pint and some hearty Irish fare.
What practical advice do you have for someone playing Old Conna for the first time?
Our top tip is to bring a rangefinder and pay close attention to the yardage book, as the elevation changes can really play tricks on your depth perception. Also, don't forget to factor in the wind, which can be a significant factor on the more exposed holes, especially on the back nine.
