Golf Stores in Ireland

BiffoGooner

Simple enquiry here.I'd like to know what is considered to be the largest/most well stocked Golf store in the country.I know there's a few good Halpenny stores around and there's always McGuirks, but I'd imagine there's another few around that aren't so well advertised?Thanks.

Ya, I think they are in the old Golfworks building in Wilton. Haven't been in, but I heard they are there alright.

Planet Golf in Portlaoise is a big place but still woudn't be half the size of Mcguirks in Blanchardstown but the staff are more helpful in Portlaoise.

You cannot be serious ?????

None even in the same league as McGuirks Blanchardstown

Similarly Nevada Bobs in Belfast Stockdam. Its OK but quite small. Clothing selection wouldnt be a fifth of McGuirks Leopardstown or Blanch, Halpenny in Drogheda, or Golf Style in Galway.

A lot of odd suggestions here which are in no way contenders for largest and best stocked.

McGuirks Blanch wins hands down as far as I have seen.

Thanks for replies lads.Blanchardstown sounds like the place so.I'll probably check out the place in Galway too if I can find it, cheers.

my advice would be to try blanch, galway, cork and belfast
all seem to be contenders and its the only way you'll be able to reach an informed decision

There is a great shop in Killcoole, the village just below Druids Glen. Think it's called pro sport golf. They have decent gear in there and the owner is usually around, also they have a club fitter and pro on site.

The McGuirks in Blanchardstown may well be the biggest golf shop in the country, but its also home to probably the worst customer service and most obnoxious staff of any golf shop (possibly even shop) i've ever been into.

Ah that wouldn't really bother me, tend to be fairly ignorant and obnoxious myself .


Anyone familiar with this Planet Golf place in Portlaoise?it's the closest to me.

I'm not having that. You've obviously never been to the 'pro' shop near douglas in Cork

Never been in there when there wasn't 5 lads working standing round doing feck all apart from staring at people as they come in... ask for a different loft of a driver or a price of something and you'd swear you pissed on their chips

Its in Kea lew buisness park up towards the back, not the easiest to find but their prices are fairly comparable to Mcguirks and the lads in there are very helpful. I've no association with the shop other than i like the place by the way.

Agree totally with other posters regarding the lack of consumer service in McGuirks Blanch. It's remarkable that a shop that size has no fitting/hitting bays, any swing analysis stuff, clubmaking (re-shafting etc) facilities. Problem is the assistants might be golf nuts, but not golf professionals in the real sense of the word ... ooh and their prices ....accch sure ya know ...

Mat the trasher

I was in Birr golf shop just beside the golf club two years ago, I was very surprised at the range and stock levels they had. As good as any of dublin stores storers

Looks like McGuirks have declared war on Halfpenny...McG just about to open in Pavilions in Swords.
