About the course

The current Bray Golf Club was founded in 1897. However, it was not the first time golfers teed up in the north Wicklow seaside town. Remarkably golf was played in Bray in 1762, only 18 years after the formation of the club at Leith in Scotland by the Honourable Company of Edinburg Golfers. The Leith club is accepted as the first in the world. This makes Bray a strong candidate for the first golf course in Ireland. In the 1700’s golf was played on what is now Bray’s Seafront.

Remarkably also, a member of the of the 1762 club, as per a notice in Faulkner’s Dublin Journal on Oct 23 1762, was an Elias de Butts Esq. The de Butt residence was Ravenswell House, on whose lands Bray Golf Club built its first course in 1897.
