Charlesland Golf Club House Finally Sells

Charlesland Golf Club 2025

ong before its mercy closure in December 2020, the Charlesland Golf Club was a troubled property.

As court battles rattled on between the divided owners – including, on one side, the three Evans brothers on whose land the course was built – members of the club were getting lawyered up as the sound of distant shutters grew ever louder.

Since then, beyond roaring cars and a few roaring grass fires, the Charlesland Golf Club has remained idle. As one brave local called on WCC to turn the 127 acres into a people’s park, the Evans clan weren’t finding much love, peace or understanding from Wicklow Planning, with even 2024’s application to have the main clubhouse turned into 9 residential units getting the cold shoulder.

And now, that main clubhouse – today looking like an abandoned New York subway train after Grandmaster Flash had his wicked way – went on the market in February this year. For a tidy €1.7m, this 2.595sqm building sitting on a substantial landholding of 2.02 acres could be yours.

Handled by the angel Gabriel Dooley, the full sell went a little something like this…

Exceptional Development Potential in a Stunning Coastal Setting
An outstanding opportunity to acquire and develop the well-known Charlesland Golf Club site, situated in the heart of Greystones, Co. Wicklow. This prime property is set on a substantial landholding, overlooking the former golf course, and offers a unique redevelopment opportunity in one of Ireland’s most desirable coastal locations.

This is a rare chance to secure a landmark site in a well renowned area surrounded by excellent amenities, and transport links.
