Day One: Arrive in the Wicklow Countryside

Check into your luxurious guestroom or suite and settle into your surroundings before making the most of the hotel’s five-star facilities. Many guestrooms offer views across the hotel gardens, the surrounding countryside or towards the iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain.

Spend your first afternoon at leisure, whether enjoying the hotel’s 20-metre Swarovski crystal-lit swimming pool, visiting the Spa or simply taking time to relax before dinner.
In the evening, enjoy dinner at the hotel, with a choice of dining experiences complemented by the spectacular Wicklow setting.
Day Two: Championship Golf at Powerscourt
After breakfast, begin your first full day with a round at neighbouring Powerscourt Golf Club.
Set within the Powerscourt Estate, the club features two championship 18-hole courses, offering a total of 36 holes of golf surrounded by mature woodland and views of the Wicklow Mountains.
The East Course
The East Course was designed by former Walker Cup captain Peter McEvoy and stretches across the rolling landscape of the estate. The course combines tree-lined fairways, natural features and views across the surrounding countryside.
The West Course
Designed by David McLay Kidd, the West Course provides a contrasting golfing experience, making it possible to play two distinct championship courses without leaving Powerscourt Estate.
With both courses located beside the hotel, golfers can enjoy a full day on the course before returning to the comfort of Powerscourt Hotel.
After Your Round
A golf weekend doesn't have to end on the 18th green.
Return to the hotel for an afternoon dedicated to rest and recovery. Enjoy a swim in the 20-metre Swarovski Crystal-lit swimming pool, experience Powerscourt Spa & Wellness, and book a treatment for some well-earned relaxation after your round.
As evening arrives, settle in for dinner and drinks at The Sally Gap Bar & Brasserie while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the resort and the surrounding Wicklow countryside.
Day Three: Discover More Golf in Wicklow
Extend your golf weekend beyond Powerscourt Estate and discover some of the excellent golf courses found throughout County Wicklow and the surrounding area.
The hotel's location provides a convenient base for golfers looking to combine a stay at Powerscourt with additional rounds during a longer golf trip. From parkland courses surrounded by the Wicklow landscape to coastal golf within driving distance, guests can create an itinerary suited to their stay.
Alternatively, spend your final morning exploring more of the 1,000-acre Powerscourt Estate before travelling home. Powerscourt Gardens are approximately a 5-minute walk from the hotel, while Powerscourt Waterfall is approximately a 10-minute drive away, making it easy to combine golf with some of Wicklow's best-known attractions.
