We came to the open and fancied a few rounds whilst over. All the top courses were charging £100 per round. We were recommenddd Cairndhu by our B&B owners and what a great challenge. The weather was hot and the wind was up so it was a tough ask.Views stunning and course equally so. Defo playing again next Open!!!!

Reviewed Jul 11 2019 by Robert B - rated 4 out of 5 I played this course two years ago when I was last in NI and returned because I enjoyed it so much then. If anything it was in even better condition this time, fairways, greens and bunkers have been lovingly cared for. There are a few holes where it helps to know the line to take because fairways slope or your shot is blind but they add to your enjoyment. The clubhouse was not open for food when i was there on a Monday. Pro shop is good. An interesting series of holes with some stunning views of the coastline from several of the tee boxes.

Lovely course, not too far from Belfast. Well worth a visit. Quite a lot of cross-overs. Rough tough because of the recent bad weather, but the greens were excellent.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 87 Handicap: 13.4)

Reviewed Jul 23 2018 by Scott B - rated 3 out of 5 Fabulous course
Having played Cairndhu many times, I wasn't surprised to see the curse and the greens in pristine condition. Given the summer we have had so far, I was not surprised to see the tees in poor condition, but as the Hosepipe ban was lifted at noon on Tuesday 17, I thought they could have started watering them, lest they lose them completely> Despite displaying a sign on the coast road, that says visitors are welcome to come and get a meal, the kitchen didn't open to 17-00 hrs and we had to take our custom elsewhere!(Round played: Jul 2018 - Score: 95 Handicap: 18.8)

Reviewed Jun 15 2017 by Robert B - rated 5 out of 5 Splendid views throughout
A very friendly welcome from the Director of Golf and members of the club. The course is on the short side but presents many a challenges as you plot your way around. Wise club choice is necessary on every hole. Fairways are in great condition but a flat lie is a rarity as changes in elevation are the norm. Greens are not overly large and have interesting subtle variations. Bunkers and rough present just the right amount of challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed my round.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 95 Handicap: 24.4)

Reviewed Nov 28 2008 by Alan G - rated 4 out of 5 One of my favourites. This course is situated right on the Antrim coast with the par 3 2nd overlooking the Irish Sea towards Scotland. Not for the faint hearted, this course starts with the 1st hole playing very uphill. The 3rd takes you back down then the fourth starts the climb again before heading down the long 5th which starts some more sheltered but no less challenging holes. The rest of the course will test the best and can challenge varying levels of handicap. At the time of writing, this course had some green work done with sand being added and spiked greens. Hopefully when this settles the greens will be back to the standard of old. The food is great and reasonable. There is a well stocked Pro Shop and the prices are reasonable. Overall a good course to play. Weather conditions will make it a different challenge each time.
