GOLF HOLIDAYS IN PORTRUSH & PORTSTEWART
The very best golf courses in the very North of Ireland!

One of golf's greatest links courses, without question.  Royal Portrush has it all, a spectacular setting and a superb layout that uses every twist and turn, hummock and hollow of this magnificent links land.  As one of Ireland's premier courses it is always in supreme condition.  A course that every afficionado of links golf should visit - at least once!  Setting for the 2019 Open Championship.

Clearly overshadowed by its bigger brother, Portrush's Valley course is a great test of golf in its own right. Running through the same dunes it will demand every shot in your armoury to score well around the Valley. Don't make the same mistake as many who come to Portrush in overlooking their "second" course (which is also exceptional value).

A 'game of two halves' if ever there was one!  The front nine plays through as spectacular a set of mountainous dunes as you will ever see.  The setting for some of the holes is quite extraordinary. The back nine are great holes too, just sited on flatter terrain as you exit the dunes and enjoy the the far-reaching views across the estuary (to Castlerock G.C. on the far bank of the Bann).

A very pleasant little back-up course to Portstewart's star attraction.  18-holes on flat land that gently follows the course of the river Bann down to the estuary and gently back up again.  Not too taxing roughwise but there is that little river to cross a few times...

One of Northern Ireland's lesser known links, but an absolute treat nevertheless.  An unadulterated links course that offers all the features of links play: dunes, rolling Fairways, pot bunkers and plenty of gorse!  A very friendly Members club where you will be made most welcome and meet genuine locals on the course and in the bar, maybe even Rory McIlroy...

We don't normally feature 9-hole courses, however their Pro would argue that this is some of the best land and these are some of the most entertaining holes at Castlerock.  Narrow Fairways and tiny Greens that are embedded in the dunes; terrain so tortuous only one bunker was deemed necessary!  A severe test of your accuracy and control with superb views over the ocean and across the estuary to Portstewart.  A 27-hole day at Castelrock will be one you will remember for a long, long time...

A little further around the picturesque coastline to the East you will find the quirky delights of Ballycastle Golf Club.  The opening five holes lie in a pretty parkland setting around a ruined Abbey and between two rivers.  You then cross the road to play the wild Atlantic holes that rise and fall across some striking terrain, with great view of the cliffs and Rathlin Island across the sound.  A great variety of holes: parkland, links, clifftop makes Ballycastle an extremely entertaining and very welcoming small Golf Club.

Gracehill Architect:. 18 holes: 5,785yds: par 71. A break from the links courses should you feel the need to head inland to this gentle parkland course. Plenty of space to express yourself with the Driver and some very pretty holes on the lower section of the course alongside the stream and ponds. Great value and a (refreshing?) change from the oceanside landscapes.
