Oldcastle Pitch & Putt Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Oldcastle Pitch & Putt a good option for someone new to golf, or for families with kids?

Absolutely, this is where Oldcastle shines. You'll find the relaxed atmosphere and shorter holes are perfect for beginners to get a feel for the game without intimidation, and it's a fantastic spot for a fun family outing. We recommend it as a low-pressure introduction to golf, especially if you're looking for a quick, enjoyable round.

When's the best time to visit Oldcastle Pitch & Putt to avoid the worst of the Irish weather?

We always aim for late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the most reliable weather. While Ireland is always a bit of a gamble, you'll generally get longer daylight hours and drier conditions then, making for a much more pleasant round. Just remember to pack layers; the Irish breeze can surprise you even on a sunny day.

Do I need to bring my own clubs and balls, or can I rent them at Oldcastle?

Don't worry if you're traveling light; Oldcastle has you covered. You can easily rent a set of pitch and putt clubs and grab some balls right there, which is super convenient if you're just passing through or trying the game for the first time. We always appreciate a course that makes it easy to just show up and play.

What makes Oldcastle Pitch & Putt unique, and are there any holes I should look out for?

What we love about Oldcastle is its clever use of natural undulations, making some of the short holes surprisingly tricky. Keep an eye on the 7th hole; its elevated green often catches players out, demanding a precise chip to avoid rolling off the back. It's a great test of your short game, even for experienced golfers.

What's the typical cost for a round at Oldcastle Pitch & Putt, and is it good value?

You'll find Oldcastle offers excellent value for a fun afternoon out. A round is very reasonably priced, often just a few euros, making it one of the most affordable ways to enjoy some golf in Ireland. We think it's a steal for the enjoyment and practice you'll get, whether you're a seasoned player or just starting.
