Golf course review of Mount Ober Golf Club

An excellent value for money course, especially on a weekday before 10:30am when its only £13, or you can get a 2 for 1 offer sometimes on weekdays where its costs £18 for 2 players.

The course is pretty technical in parts, with well placed bunkers, or blind tee shots, and there's also the challenge of the undulating terrain. The blind 218 yard par 3 'Hit N Hope' as probably my favourite hole. You get the feeling once your ball goes out of site that you'll find it somewhere in the centre of Belfast! Its not a long course, and with only 2 par 5s, both with OOB down the right of them, i didnt find too much use for my driver. You'll love this course if youre a good long iron player. Its pretty windy due to its elevation.

Im not awarding a very good for the course as one hole was out of action in July, and the Green tee boxes were sometimes further forward than the ladies ones for unknown reasons. It also doesnt give you the feel of quality of some of the other Co. Down courses that are within an hours drive. Its perfectly acceptable and a challenge, but you cant really compare to a Royal Co. Down, Belvoir or Clandeboye.

Great facilities in general with a driving range, short game practice area available, good food too.

Golf course review of Mount Ober Golf Club

A course that starts with a 180 yard par 3 over a pond suggests thre might be a bit of a challenge ahead and this course doesn't dissapoint. There are also quite a lot of hills to contend with as well so it definitely gets the heart going as you walk around this course. All in all it is quite challenging but if you can stay on the fairways you have a chance of putting a good scrore together. There are a few very well placed out of bounds points - the par 5 second is a slight dog leg left to right with out of bounds up the right hand side which punishes any sort of slice at all. The green is also not visible from the 2nd shot and the line in is pretty much over the corner of the out of bounds markers if you are feeling brave - which this early in the round is not very often. The course is always kepy in fairly good condition and for the money, there are probably not that many courses in Belfast that would compare to this one. It can be quite difficult for non-members to get a game on a Sunday - the best way is to turn up very early - pre 7.30am. Another bonus with this course is the 2-for1 vouchers you can use. You can buy these from 2-for-1 golf and it reduces the cost of a round to a tenner at the weekends - which makes it extremely good value.

Golf course review of Mount Ober Golf Club

A fantastic, tough course for players of any level. This incredibly hilly course will have your legs crying out for a rest and you'll reconsider that new powered trolley. The fairways are in excellent condition, the rough is thick and go beyond that and you'll often find one of the plethora of ditches ready to snap up your ball. Many of the holes could argue themselves as the signature hole of this outstanding course. For the price, you'll struggle to find a better course in Northern Ireland.
