Although the club dates to the late 1890s, the first nine holes of the course as they exists today were designed in 1915 by Tom Travers, a renowned professional of that era from Dun Laoghaire. In 1994, architect Paddy Merrigan designed a second nine and upgraded the original nine. Located in a narrow valley with steep, tree-covered hills, it is a picturesque layout.
