Great course. Just one small problem when one of the memvers was extremely rude calling me vulgar names when i went of to the right a bit on one of the holes i played. Apart from that very enjoyable course to play.

Super Course
This course was recommended to me by the PGA pro at Ballycastle when I mentioned that I couldn't get a tee time at Ardglass for this particular day. It proved to be a great recommendation. The pro at Kirkistown Castle was very helpful and welcoming pointing out particular features of the course which made for a nice start. Fairways are in great condition a reasonable width which is a good thing as the rough is particularly punishing at the moment (mid July). Greens were immaculate with plenty of subtle changes and a fast pace. Bunkers are proper bunkers as befitting a true links course. There are significant elevation changes on many holes but I can't think of a blind shot being required on any. The restaurant is well worth a visit after your round. Would I play here again? Yes, on Tuesday - it was that good.Reviewer Rating

Great links course, in great condition. Greens were some of the best I've played and must be immaculate in summer.
Well signposted on the course with quality tees, toilet at the tenth plus water fountain.
Good test of accuracy and length off the tee.
Highly recommended!

Excellent links course, in superb condition given the amount of rain this year. The greens were immaculate and the course itself well thought out to test accuracy and the need for length in a few holes. Would highly recommend to anyone, well worth the money.

Great Winter Venue
As a links course it's well known as one of the best courses to play when the weather conditions would make others courses almost unplayable. At any time of the year it presents a strong challenge.Reviewer Rating

Good course for 'year round' golf.
A seaside course with many challenging holes and greens which are slick and tricky to putt on at any time. Being on a sandy base, the course can be played all year with only a couple of holes on the back nine where you will see water only at the wettest times. Good course to practice your links skills.Reviewer Rating
