Ballycastle Golf Club

Fantastic course and in superb condition. Stunning views and a test for any golfer. Some of the back nine are a bit of a climb but as I said the views are worth it. Got a great deal with Golf Now so well pleased.

Huge variation enjoy game and the variation of the holes. Play it you’ll like it.

First few holes ease you in before the links grab your attention. Pros; course well maintained, greens ran true, clear directions from green to next tee, beautiful scenery, challenging holes with great variety. Cons; be prepared for changeable weather throughout your round, some greens very small targets when the wind is up, from green to next tee some holes criss cross and are a bit of a walk to get to. Would recommend for the confident golfer, however if you are a casual golfer it might be a bit much. Even though the weather was rough throughout the round, the stunning views & variety of holes made it worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed it & am glad I played it.

It's a great course and situated in spectacular settings with wonderful views. Couple of little pointers- the greens had been dressed with a heavy layer of sand. By the time we finished play at 1.30 only 3 greens were playable for us!!....... disappointing. The recent bout of hot weather had burnt of most fairway grass, although a feature of most courses at this time. .
As visitors to the course we were confronted by 2 elderly ladies on the 8th hole who challenged were we had come from and maintained we had just appeared out of the blue. Not pleasant, but we carried on.
I would like to play the course again for sure and give the greens a proper go..

What a fantastic place to play golf! The views of rathlin and fair head are breathtaking. Great course really good mix of holes with some real links along the coast and parkland. Usual issue with links golf with lots of blind shots and greens close to tee boxes but it’s brilliant all the same. Great day out.

Rude, slow, obnoxious and dangerous players would never make you want to play here again.

Staff in the pro shop were excellent, relaxed and friendly. Arranged a buggy at short notice. Course is in great nick and suited my level of play. Will definitely consider the lifestyle membership here. Why pay crazy prices further up the coast?

Booked in for 12.38 and allowed to go out at 11.30 as course quiet very helpful staff, course is good test of golf in parts has a bit off everything, links and parkland. Course in excellent shape greens are like billard tables. Will play again not just for the golf but the scenery as well stunning.

Superb course for the money, at about a quarter of their normal visitor price. I don't understand why it's not better known outside of Northern Ireland?
A really diverse course, with plenty of ups and downs. Varying between: Links; heath-land; parkland type holes, with beautiful and historic views everywhere. Some really quirky and some blind holes too so it would bee advisable to buy a course planner on your first attempt.
We had excellent weather on the day, however I can imagine it can be a bit of a beast on a wet ant windy day if you're a 28 handicapper?

Really enjoyed the course, though it was hard going being exposed to the elements, particularly the wind, from the 6th onwards. The first five holes are very different from the rest of the course, being parkland, but quite pleasant no the less.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One thing to note, it seems that the staff don't arrive until around 9.00am, but with Tee off times you can book an earlier T, so be preparpared for a wait.

We got a terrific deal, if you're in the locality would thoroughly recommend giving it a go. Should you not be on top of your game the spectacular views alone will make it a worthwhile visit.

Wonderful experience on a bollock frozen day. Club pro was helpful and was able to get me put in with a three ball on a very busy saturday morning. Played from the sixth - eighteenth then I had the option to play the first - fith, which I did. The links holes were excellent. Wind was strong enough to push you around but Never really felt I was gonna get punished for a bad shot and never ran up big numbers. Unless I duffed or thinned. Fairways were bone dry. And greens were quick and true. But I needed to work hard on the greens as there were alot of difficult pin positions. The last five holes, 1st-5th were very good parkland holes with a few damp spots but mostly dry and playable. if you play with your head and not your heart your going to have a great day. Very few off course amenities. Ok changing facilities but small putting green with no hole markers and only a net to practice in. Better than nothing but A club of that stature needs better practice facilities. All in all had a great day at a great price. Some beautiful holes and superb scenery. Some lovely elevated tee shots on par threes and blind tees that need you to think. Even if you get a reasonably good day, your in for a treat.

Bought hot deal to gift as birthday present. Returning after really enjoying last year. Great course, friendly staff who rearranged tee off time to let course drain a little after weekend of extremely heavy rain. Planning to make annual event.

I played this course on vacation. The course was beautiful and challenging especially due to wind. The only issue I had was due to the fault of golf now. I had a tee time of 08:30. When I showed up at 07:45 am there was no one at the course. The course manager showed up at 09:00. He asked if I had booked through golf now and said that was the problem. The manager mentioned golf now is fairly new to Northern Ireland (about 1 year) and golf now does not honor their start times.. He said they have submitted on several occasions that the course does not open until 9 am. Golf now still continues to post tee times much earlier. Other than this issue which was no fault of the course I had a great time and enjoyed playing the beautiful course.

Was the best conditioned course we played while we were in Ireland on a 30 days Irish vacation. We had only played links courses, so the layout of the first five holes being parkland, with the next 13 holes beings kinks was intriguing. The fairways were like carpets! The greens were equally as nice. Large elevation changes added to the challenges of this course. Play it, you will love it!
