Golf clubs urged get on course with family market

Municipal golf courses can cash in on the growing appeal of the sport among young people and families, according to management at one of Dublin’s most scenic venues.

Malahide Castle Golf and Tennis Club, set in the surrounds of the famous castle in north Co Dublin, has almost completed its renovation, a 12-week project and the most significant at the venue since it was opened in 1984 by Dublin County Council.

The current local authority for the area, Fingal County Council, played a key role in the recent redevelopment.
