Lanark Golf Club
Golfshake Review Comment: "Played April 2022, fairways firm for time of year, nice feeling to strike irons off them. The green slopes are severe but thankfully they still weren't up to full speed. I can see this being the main defence of the course. The rough was also down, not sure I'd like to play here in summer warm and baked! Or maybe I do?"

Northern Ireland
Ardglass Golf Club
Golfshake Review Comment: "Ardglass was a great experience. The pro shop was very welcoming and helpful, caddies are available if you want one but we didn't find it necessary after purchasing the course guide. The course is typical links, punishing if you are not straight, the odd unlucky bounce and lost ball if you are too wide. Every aspect of the course was in excellent condition. Practice facilities are limited to short game and a net. If you are anywhere near this course play it!"

Ballinrobe Golf Club
Golfshake Review Comment: "Ballinrobe is an excellent parkland course, plenty of challenging holes especially on the back 9. I'd love to play it in the summer when it's dry, always end up playing in October and it is usually quite wet but the greens are always superb."
Tee Times Cost: €21.99 - €50
Mannan Castle Golf Club
Golfshake Review Comment: "Good course, good practice area and well worth another visit soon."
Tee Times Cost: €20.99 - €30
