History

In 1730, the 1st Viscount Powerscourt set about transforming the medieval castle at Powerscourt into a grand mansion. He commissioned the German-born architect Richard Castle to build Powerscourt House, a 68-room mansion which was completed in 1741. The mansion was designed around the medieval castle in the style of Palladian architecture and featured baroque dome-roofed towers on either side, giving it in the words of one architectural historian, “The massive dignity of a great Italian Renaissance villa.”

The house contained some of the finest 18th century interiors in Ireland and was one of the country’s most beautiful mansions. It's gardens, 150 years in the making, are now world famous and cover 47 acres which include Ireland's tallest waterfall.

In 1961, the Slazenger family (of tennis fame) purchased the Estate from the 9th Viscount Powerscourt and remain its owners today.

Golf came to Powerscourt in 1996 with the opening of the original course, initially called the Slazenger Course and designed by Irishman and former Walker Cup Captain Peter McEvoy.

The course was later renamed the East Course with the development of the second course on the Estate, the West Course. It opened in 2003 and was designed by Scottish Golf Course Architect David McLay Kidd.

“Welcome to one of the most beautiful and inspiring places in the world! This is not just an empty boast. The prestigious National Geographic selected it as one of the World’s top 3 gardens and the daily responses from our visitors continually confirm the life enhancing nature of visiting Powerscourt. One visit is rarely enough."

Sarah Slazenger, General Manager, Powerscourt Estate
