The Hermitage Golf Club was founded late in the year 1905. A group of members from nearby Lucan Golf Club, led by Mr. James Walsh, negotiated terms for the rental of Hermitage House and its surrounding 85 acres of mature parkland with the owner, Mr. James Crozier. A Clubhouse, located at a high point on the then course, alongside the main Dublin Galway road and the current 7th hole, would also become part of the deal.
James Walsh became the first Club Captain 1905-06. Initially the Club was named The County Dublin Golf Club. Shortly afterwards this was changed toThe Hermitage Golf Club taking its name from a cave in an inaccessible part of the course, alongside the River Liffey, reputed to have been the dwelling place of a hermit in days long gone by.
