Golf Courses - Northern Ireland

 Whilst a round at Royal Portrush is normally the highlight of their stay, most of our golfing guests like to play a different course every day of the week and, there’s plenty of choice.  Whether you’re a novice or pro, a leisure or a competitive golfer, there’s a course here for you.

Here’s our guide to some of Northern Ireland’s fantastic 18 and 9 hole golf courses.

The Old Course is perfect for groups and newcomers to the game. The first 8 holes offer stunning views out across the Atlantic whilst the final 10 are inland and more sheltered.

The Strand Course is one of the top links golf courses in Ireland and offers incredible views from start to finish. is a much more challenging course, not for beginners.

The Riverside Course meanders along the banks of the River Bann and has it’s challenges though maybe not as many as the Strand Course.
