Golf Group Accommodation Ireland – Glebewood House

A True Golf Retreat Experience

Golf trips create memories that last a lifetime—the early morning tee times, the banter, the competition, the celebrations, and the relaxed hours spent recapping every shot in detail. Glebewood House offers the perfect setting for these moments. Its design encourages togetherness without compromising comfort, giving golfers a base that feels both private and luxurious.

The property is located in Ratoath, Co. Meath, a scenic and peaceful village that sits within a short drive of world-class golf courses across Meath, Dublin and neighbouring regions. Dublin Airport is just 20–25 minutes away, making it ideal for golfers travelling from across Ireland, the UK or abroad. With its spacious interiors, exceptional amenities and outstanding location, Glebewood House delivers an unforgettable golf trip experience for groups of all sizes.

Perfect for Golf Groups, Golf Societies & Annual Tours

Glebewood House is designed for large groups, making it particularly popular with:

• Golf societies
• Corporate golf groups
• Weekend golf tour groups
• Golfing groups celebrating birthdays or milestones
• Groups playing multiple courses over two to four days
• Friends travelling to Meath or Dublin for annual golf weekends

With multiple bedrooms, large living spaces and flexible bed arrangements, the house comfortably accommodates groups in the high-teens to low-twenties, depending on sleeping preferences. Golfers appreciate being able to stay under one roof while enjoying facilities typically seen in boutique-style accommodation.

Spacious Bedrooms & Relaxed Sleeping Arrangements

After 18 or 36 holes, comfort matters. Glebewood House provides excellent sleeping arrangements for large golf groups:

• Multiple king-size bedrooms
• Large family rooms with flexible bed setups
• A mezzanine level ideal for groups of friends
• Premium mattresses for deep rest after long days
• Spacious rooms for storing clubs, luggage and gear

Unlike hotels, where golfers are spread across different rooms and floors, Glebewood House allows everyone to sleep close together, keeping the group connected while still providing ample privacy. The home’s layout ensures quiet sleeping areas even when others are still socialising.

Large Social & Dining Spaces for Evening Gatherings

Golf weekends are about much more than the rounds—you need space to unwind, celebrate and recap the day. Glebewood House provides multiple flexible indoor and outdoor social spaces perfect for golfers:

• Main lounge – ideal for analysis of every round, friendly post-game debates and TV sports coverage.
• 20-seater dining room – perfect for group dinners, trophy presentations or a golf society end-of-year meal.
• Outdoor covered entertainment area – superb for evening drinks, chats and downtime regardless of weather.
• Cinema room – watch golf highlights, Ryder Cup matches, major tournaments or evening movies.
• Games room – includes pool table and space for evening competitions.

These areas give groups the place to catch up, bond and enjoy the social side of their trip. It’s as close as you can get to a private clubhouse experience in the comfort of a luxury home.

Private Hot Tub & Sauna for Post-Round Recovery

Even the most enthusiastic golfer needs physical recovery after a long day on the fairways. Glebewood House provides hotel-quality leisure facilities exclusively for your group:

• Seven-seater hot tub – enjoy a relaxing soak with a beer or a chat after your round.
• Private sauna – ideal for easing muscle tension and rejuvenating the body.
• Covered outdoor lounge space – perfect for evening relaxation before or after using the hot tub.
• Outdoor garden – a peaceful space to stretch, cool down or enjoy warm mornings before golf.

Few golf group accommodations in Ireland offer this level of private spa-style amenities, making Glebewood House one of the best options for relaxing golf weekends.

Award-Winning Catering for Golf Group Dinners

Great food is essential to a great golf trip. Glebewood House works closely with award-winning chef Matt Farrelly, who trained at the 5-star Westbury Hotel and brings over 35 years of culinary excellence to your dining table. His menus are ideal for golf groups and include:

• BBQ feasts for warm summer evenings
• Hearty post-round buffet dinners

• Hot and cold lunch spreads
• Prosecco and canapé receptions

Breakfast deliveries—such as pastries, scones, croissants and breakfast rolls—ensure your group starts the day with the energy needed to excel on the course.

Chef Matt’s catering services are highly recommended by past guests, and his menus can accommodate dietary requirements, large group sizes and multi-day stays.
