1010478 Deer Park Golf

This very, very 1980s clubhouse, attached to the currently non-operational Deer Park Hotel, is open to the public and normally operates as a restaurant under the control of the Wright Group.

I hauled myself up Howth Head, in very warm weather, to find that the restaurant was pre-booked for First Communion dinners and only drinks were available - but at least I was able to slake my thirst, get it ticked off and take a look at the views before rolling myself back down in to Howth.

Once littered with hotels, Howth currently has zero operational - this having been the last open; but the owners intend to replace the current structures with a new 142-bed setup, so you will likely be able to enjoy a pint with these views for some time yet.
