Loved it.
I was in Belfast a few weeks for work from the US and sampled a few of the local courses, I would absolutely recommend this one. The reviews about the difficulty are true, but I didn’t find it too overwhelming. (I normally shoot in the 90-100 range back home and finished up right at 100)I loved that it was challenging but didn’t feel unfair. And really none of holes felt difficult from length alone. It’s a very interesting course with lots of rolling hills, tight corners, and fun tee boxes.
Then of course the views on this course are phenomenal, especially for someone not from the area. If you are traveling through Belfast I’d put this place at the top of your list. It’s also extremely affordable - which I would say is so because the pro shop is under construction, not because of the quality of the course. The club was good, nothing fancy and exactly what I’m looking for after a long hard round.
Also if you’re traveling and staying in Belfast (like me) it’s a short cab ride away from city center, and they offer rental clubs in good condition.
