Luttrellstown Castle Golf & Country Club is situated within the 560 acres walled estate of Luttrellstown Castle. The venue is probably best known as the place where David Beckham and Victoria Adams (a.k.a. Posh Spice) celebrated their highly publicised nuptials in 1999 but the golf course is gaining wide recognition in its own respect. Situated nearby the River Liffey, Luttrellstown is noted as a fine parkland test in beautiful lush surroundings.

The history of the Luttrellstown estate goes back to the beginning of the 13th century and was one of the fortresses of the Pale when it belonged to the Luttrell family, who resided at Luttrellstown for some 600 years. Some of the landscaping undertaken during times past has left a discernable mark on the course today. Evidence of this can be seen in the romantic glen to the left of holes 8 and 9, while from the 10th, 11th and 12th holes, one can see the beautiful lake and magnificent stone bridge that dates from the middle of the 18th century. And then of course, there is the majestic castle, which first comes into full view from the 12th fairway.

The course was designed with the objective of being an acceptable challenge for the average golfer off the medal tees and this has been achieved through relatively generous fairways and non threatening water hazards. The course however does play quite differently from the championship stakes, from where it will test even the most accomplished players. The quality of Luttrellstown as a golf course came to the fore when it hosted the 1997 Guardian Irish Ladies Open, which attracted a top quality international field, who were high in their praise for the layout.

Luttrellstown is exceptionally well manicured and is regarded as having some of the best putting surfaces in the country. Without exception, all of the par fives and fours are demanding at Luttrellstown, particularly the long 7th hole, which is probably the most dangerous on the course. The problems there are presented by out of bounds on the left from the tee and water guarding the green from the mid iron approach.
