The best nine-hole links anywhere?
Stumbling upon the Bann course might have been the most enjoyable discovery of my career. My playing partner and I had just finished a chilly round on the Mussenden Links at Castlerock and lunch in the clubhouse when the sun came out, inspiring us to play nine more holes. What a magical afternoon.
The Bann, a par 34 of 2,446 yards, delivers everything golfers love about links - beautiful scenery, blind shots, wild dunes and quirky holes that are more fun than difficult. Three of the par 4s play shorter than 300 yards, but they're certainly no guaranteed pars. The only par 5, the 491-yard fifth, gloriously follows the river inlet that leads to the sea. The three par 3s are all show-stoppers. The 92-yard third might be the best of the bunch with an hour-glass-shaped green that's difficult to hold downwind. The only knock would be the tiny and very random pond in front of the green on no. 6, a great hole otherwise. If you come to the Causeway coast and skip the Bann, you've missed out on one of the greatest "hidden gems' of all time.
Stunning
Played this absolute gem today, loved every second of it the layout can be a little confusing the first time but omg what a course. Wanted to introduce my son to links golf because he has only played parkland...He maintains this is his favourite course so far. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
Really interesting course - packs a challenge.
Really enjoyed our round on Friday. Will definitely be back.
A diamond 9 hole course
What an absolute gem of a course! A beautifully carved 9 hole links to complement that championship course. This course will definitely sharpen the iron skills with lots of tight fairways. An absolute pleasure to play will be back again and again.
Worth a try.
The course is very good for those looking less a challenge than the bigger adjoining course.
First Time playing Castlerock
Wonderful course, very challenging and tight , links golf at its finest
Tough 9 Holes!
Not an easy course but enjoyable and excellent value for money.... You need to be straight off the tee.. If not bring plenty of golf balls!
