Carnalea Golf Club

Another good day at Carnalea. Good value on Golf now.Arrived 30mins before tee off time,course not busy so straight out to play. Excellent greens,wind made it good fun! friendly staff and other golfers out on course. Recommend a round here.

First time playing course. Friendly welcome.Recommended by family member who played before. Good front nine ,back nine hilly. Greens in great condition. Maybe a bell or two over some of the hills so long hitters know it's clear ahead. Will definitely be back.

Great course as usual, course in very good condition the great weather helps but even in the rain its great

I've played this course on a number of occasions & it has been a good experience, This time it wasn't up to a reasonable standard , it's not the best time of year for golf, but having said that it was in poor condition ...greens were poor along with fairways , then to add it all off the hoses to clean trolley ,shoes etc weren't working ! overall not a good day ......

Very nice front 9, back 9 a bit repetitive with plenty of hills but overall a good course and in very good condition for November. Will play again

This is a great course and when it comes to the greens it is hard to beat them
Friendly welcoming course

The golf now app is a must and very easy to use.
Very thing went very well and we had a great round of golf. The course is in excellent condition especially the greens. Congratulations to the greenkeeper.

Have played Carnalea a number of times now condition of the course is great and the greens are always in A1 condition , not a overly long course which may suit some fairways are quite wide and and very forgiving so suits the high handicappers like myself , clubhouse is also excellent nice food with superb views of the Belfast lough , if you haven't played here before definitely worth a visit usually great value too .

Great course with marvellous greens and a gorgeous setting.

A lovely course with unrivalled views. Great value for money.

We played this course today and i must say i was surprised how good the conditions where for this time of year only one temporay green looking forward playing there next weekend great value for money booked on teeoff times

The good points :-
Although only a par 69 & just about 6K yds, most holes are sufficiently interesting and with hazards or features that concentrate the mind. The layout is good even though there is a bit of a trek between the 9th &10th, with the short par 3 9th probably being the feature hole, and there are very scenic views of Belfast Lough, the South Antrim coast and passing shipping traffic to be had from most parts of the course.
The not-so-good points :-
{Bearing in mind the time of year} Much work going on around the course with sand being spread over much of the fairways leading to an unusual practice of either placing a small plastic mat to play off or moving the ball to edge of the fairway for semi-rough placing. Greens had been recently hollow-tined plus sanded and were consequently quite slow and bobbly and there were winter mats on all tees plus a VERY poor temporary green on the 18th. One all-year-round criticism would be that there are a lot of blind tee shots with no pictorial view availability for guidance, plus hole signage could do with being improved.

One thing to note too, is that parking is limited at the clubhouse, but it IS possible to travel by train & the station is only 100M or so away, with the track bisecting the course - hence the walk from 9th green to 10th tee.

course was in a very wet poor state . no signs for tee positions which made it like a treasure hunt . but to be fair in summer time would b a very nice course and pleasure to play views r amazing

Even though there was a Large Society in front the staff accommodated us best they could to meet our booked T Time.

Very impressed. Course in great condition, views amazing. Very hilly would not recommend carrying clubs. Will definitely be back.

Sun shining. Little wind. Greens mint. Great value for money
