The Rine

The Rine is a relaxed countryside base set within 500 acres of mature woodland on the Dromoland Estate in County Clare. Designed with golfers in mind, it offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and easy access to one of Ireland’s most enjoyable parkland courses.

Golf Courses

Golf is central to the experience here. Guests at The Rine enjoy privileged access to the nearby Dromoland Castle Golf Club, an 18-hole parkland course known for its smooth fairways, mature trees, and subtle water features.

Set within the same spectacular estate, the course offers a fun yet strategic challenge for all levels of golfer. With excellent practice facilities, a welcoming clubhouse, and access to the wider Dromoland Castle Resort golf and wellness amenities, it’s an ideal base for golf breaks, society outings, and casual rounds alike.

Accommodation

The Rine offers 123 stylish, non-smoking rooms, thoughtfully designed for rest and recovery after a day on the course. Choose from Superior, Premier Double, Executive, or Family Rooms, with interconnecting options available for groups and golf societies.

Each room includes satellite TV, tea and coffee facilities, crisp linens, and 24-hour room servic, everything you need for a comfortable and convenient golf getaway.

Spa & Leisure

After your round, unwind with a swim in the newly refurbished indoor pool, relax in the sauna, or stretch out in the fitness centre. Guests can also enjoy mini golf, tennis courts, woodland walks, and on-site leisure facilities designed to keep both golfers and families entertained.

Golfers also benefit from access to the spa, wellness studio, and additional facilities at the nearby 5-star Dromoland Castle Resort.

Restaurant & Bars

Dining is relaxed and easy-going, perfect for post-round meals and casual evenings.

The Whitehorn Restaurant offers a fresh, locally inspired menu with Irish and Mediterranean influences, ideal for refuelling after a day on the fairways. For something more informal, Shannigan’s Gastro Pub serves hearty Irish favourites in a welcoming, relaxed setting.

Location

Just 15 minutes from Shannon International Airport, The Rine is ideally placed for golf breaks from near and far. Its location also makes it easy to explore other great courses in County Clare and beyond, while keeping Dromoland Castle Golf Club as your home base.

With quick access to the M18, travelling to Limerick, Galway, and the wider Wild Atlantic Way is simple, making The Rine an excellent hub for a multi-course golf itinerary.
