What The Club Says

Founded in April 1901, the original course comprised nine holes and was laid out on the western part of the present course. Additional land was leased in 1908 and Ben Sayers, the professional from North Berwick in Scotland, was commissioned to design an eighteen hole layout.

A round at Castlerock will test every department of your game. The 200 yard par three signature 4th hole, called "Leg o' Mutton", requires a tee shot struck over a burn, with a railway track lurking to the right. Great courses offer great closing holes and the short par four 18th at Castlerock is no different. Even with a good drive on this slight dogleg, due to the contours of the fairway, you are often left with a relatively blind approach to a tricky plateau green.

Graced with the natural beauty of its peaceful setting and the views that surround it is the Club’s underlying pursuit of excellence that keeps this place a sacred retreat for the truly ardent follower of golf.

Course very good. Clubhouse not so. Unable to get coffee or refreshments before our round due to chef late or not available. Not able to get refreshments after as we were not members or had to have food (according to the catering staff). Very disappointing.

Lack of hospitality

We had an afternoon tee time and when we arrived at the clubhouse there was no facility to get food or drink. Even worse when we finished our round we were refused a drink because we were not members?..
The lads in the pro shop were brilliant so we can't fault them and they arranged a day at Ballycastle for us the following day .

Excellent links layout

Brilliantly conditioned and maintained. Great layout. This golf course sits so naturally within the landscape it is a joy. Greens excellent. Some incredible ocean views. Not many courses have a selfie spot such is the quality of the landscape.

very much an underrated links course simply because it's next door to Portrush and Port Stewart but it is a bargain and a must play when in this area. There are some terrific holes and great views above the 17th tee. Absolutely recommended

A great course to play links golf without spending loads of dosh. We payed 370 for a round on a Sunday. The greens were in fantastic nick and the course is really beautiful with lovely views. Wind plays a huge hand. A real challenge. The tee boxes and fairways are not in quite the same nick as the signature courses. A fantastic course all the same.

(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 67 Handicap: )

Hidden Gem

Great links course , often forgotten as its next to Portrush and Portstewart but worth a visit too. We got soaked and the rough was juicy but had a wonderful time.

A must play!!

If you are on the north coast of Northern Ireland you MUST play this course. It is superb. Everything about it is great. The staff are all so friendly and helpful, and the course is in excellent condition with superb views, especially up by the 17th tee box. Will definately be back here again to play it.
