A Very Enjoyable Round of Golf

Mid to high handicappers will like this course, fairly open, course layout keeps you moving, Tee boxes are a bit scattered and sign posting could be better but all in all a very enjoyable round of golf with friendly staff and well worth the money.

Superb Course

An excellent course beautifully designed and laid out. Very challenging for a high handicapper but still enjoyed it. Some gorgeous holes like 7 and 15. If you get a chance to play here take it.

Fantastic

Played my first round of golf after 10 months due to the Covid pandemic. While I was not up to scratch due to my inactivity the same cannot be said for the course, from tee to green the course was in great condition, with some stunning holes.
Highly recommend

Absolute Gem

Played Headfort's new course on 5/4/17. I was surprised by how dry the course was in comparison to other nearby courses where balls are plugging quite badly on the fairway. We had no such issues at Headfort, drainage is obviously superb. The course, as is well known, is one of the finest parkland courses in the country. Every hole presents a unique challenge. Water does come into play on a lot of holes, which I enjoy. Greens are faultless, which is a testament to staff as other courses in the area are still a bit 'wintery' looking. Staff were very friendly and food afterwards in the beautiful clubhouse was delicious and very affordable. Cant speak highly enough of this course, will definitely be back again and again.
