The moment you arrive at the course you know that its special, from the welcome greeting outside the club house to the starters hut everyone goes out of their way to make your round that bit more special. The course is immaculate, great practice facilities even tough when we went they were prepping for then Open so closed some of the driving range. The best I played in N.Ireland so far different league to RDC which gets most of the attention.Reviewer Rating

Wonderful golf course
Magnificent harry Colt design adapted and improved by Ebert & Mackenzie. It is a brilliant design in an epic setting. Conditioning is exemplary. The historic clubhouse is worthy of a couple of hours to closely examine its artefacts and memorabilia. We used a fore caddy for our four ball and it added so much to the enjoyment of our game.Reviewer Rating

Worth every penny
If you are thinking about paying the green fees. Do it. The weather included 25kph winds and heavy heavy showers yet all three of our group loved it. We were made to feel really welcome by the staff. The practice faciliies were open to all of us at no extra charge and made us feel like pros. The course was incredible. The views, oh my god the views. The course is so hard. Take plenty of balls especially if you are like me a little wayward off the tee. We loved every moment of the challenge. We were wet and none of us played anywhere near our handicap but it was an aweome experience and we were made to feel welcome in the Restaurant after where we ate great food whilst looking back on a fabulous afternoon.(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 104 Handicap: 16.2)

Superb track!!
First time playing any of the Royal Portrush courses and they are superb. Played the Valley course and tricky enough. Beautiful fairways and excellent greens. Even the bunkers had proper sand in them to play out of!!. I will definately come back and play here again. A must when in Northern Ireland.Reviewer Rating
