On the sires if Belfast lough this little course has variety and challenge, especially the ninth hole. It's a must play just for this one hole.Reviewer Rating

Scenic course
Beautiful setting with full view of the sea, course greens are challenging with slopes to challenge the putting. The courses are short, gives a good practice for iron shots.(Round played: Aug 2018 - Score: 96 Handicap: 29.3)

Beautiful course
This course is quite short but challenging. The first 9 holes are very links like, the back 9 is more parkland like. Some of the views are stunning and the 9th is one of the most spectacular PAR 3's in northern Ireland..(Round played: Jul 2017 - Score: 95 Handicap: )

Hilly, but pleasant course. Fair play conditions and particularly liked the greens pace. First time I played Carnalea and could do with 'next hole' markers.
Nice atmosphere and food good in the clubhouse afterwards!

One of my favourite courses in Northern Ireland. Not overly long, beautiful scenery and views of the lough, plenty of variety in holes, forgiving for beginners but tricky enough to give low handicappers a decent challenge. A good test of your full golf game. Love it!
