First Time Playing

Arsglass GC

The first few holes are quite dramatic as they follow the rugged coastline, then the course becomes somewhat ordinary until holes 11 & 12 get your heart racing again. Overall a good links course but if you've played Royal County Down or Royal Portrush, there is no comparison.

SPECTACULAR GOLF,, VIEWS AND VALUE

THE BEST GOLF EXPERIENCE EVER!!
The course was immaculate and in perfect condition. The greens were the best I have ever played. Oh and the views second to none!! spectacular!! I golfed in Ireland for two weeks and decided to play this course twice, for multiple reasons. Great Golf! Great food! Best pint of Guinness I had in IRELAND

A piece of heaven

Have been dying to play this course for a number of years now and finally got the chance. It was everything I had hoped for and more.

I will be be back as often as possible from now on, absolutely beautiful and a bit of a challenge also.

Grand golf

Love this course. Compares favorably with Royal County Down in beauty. Not as challenging but more fun and more forgiving. At the Golfnow rate of just 18 GBP, the value far exceeds that of RCD.

Would play it again in a heartbeat.

Excellent course with all holes playable. Really friendly Pro shop staff with coffee and advice before play. Great sea views from every tee and green. Clubhouse is friendly and food excellent.

One of my favorite golf experiences in all of the Emerald Isle

Ardglass is one of my favorite golf experiences in all of the Emerald Isle.  It starts upon pulling into the car park, after weaving through winding medieval streets and between multiple castle ruins and tower houses, one gazes upon perhaps the most unique 1st tees in all of golf!  The 1st tee is built in the courtyard of an 800 year-old castle that has been adopted as Ardglass’s clubhouse (having a pint between the turrets is a post-round must-do).  The course retains this same unique character in that it is both charming and rugged.  Despite benefitting from it’s proximity to Royal County Down, Ardglass is still a hidden gem to many an international golf tourist.
