Enjoyable course all year round

Course was in great condition even in the height of winter and after snowfall. Staff always friendly and helpful. Place is always welcoming and the golf is challenging but not too difficult- nice combination of tricky holes and scoreable holes.

Trip down memory lane

I hadn't played Donaghadee for 40 years but still in great condition. Superb views from higher parts of the course. Fairways lush despite dry spell during summer. As it is September winter preparation of greens had started but didn't affect us too much.

Excellent , but…

1st time playing and I hope to play again really enjoyed. Quite hilly , mostly like a parkland course , but ground almost like a links course , hard and very short grass . Condition great , greens good.
Pro shop was closed, Had to ask around where to go who to see, went to bar and paid bar staff money, a little less than booked price , no receipt .

Pet hate of mine is poor signage , we had to ask where the 1st tee was also had to ask for fifth and a few other times it wasn’t clear where to go. ,signs on the actual tee boxes are good with hole map, No map on card . Everyone we asked were very helpful, but a next tee box arrow would help visitors a lot.

If closer to me I’d play several Tim’s a year , good value. But still worth an hours drive

Lovely round of golf

I really like playing “Port Divine” golf course. Staff and members friendly. My only criticism today is that there was more sand on the greens than in the bunkers. At one time there was more sand on my putter than my sand wedge, plus people not replacing their divots. I know the birds lift some but not that much. Saying that, really enjoyed my day with my brother and can’t wait for the better weather.

Poor info

Course only had 9 holes open which was a mix of holes, pro shop wasn’t open either to tell us any info so as visitors not great experience.

Golf now let us book 18 holes of golf if we knew the situation that was to be we wouldn’t have booked to play there at all, the two other people in our tee time had also booked and were unaware of the 9 holes in play and only played 9!

A gem on the coast

When we arrived Hope's were high for a good day, the rain tried to ruin it but luckily only lasted 30 minutes. We were able to complete our round dry with some challenging holes to be negotiated, the greens had been tinned but ran smooth enough, a great day for end of September . Finished off with a refreshing beverage in the clubhouse 19 with friendly staff.

Donaghadee was the place to be

The weather was great and even though the warm weather made the course extremely firm it was a good days golf. I would mention that this is our second time in playing this course and the only negative on both visits was the bar/restaurant facilities. which either didn't seem to be open or there didn't appear to be anyone about which was extremely disappointing. If this issue could be resolved I feel all aspects of the club would be excellent. and it would encourage a lot more visitors to the course!

Bad manners

Donaghadee golf club is situated in a place of beauty with stunning views. The greens were excellent. Those are the only good points we found. When registering in the pro shop the chap was very rude and ignorant when told I had booked through Golf now. Because of his manners and attitude I will not be back to Donaghadee golf club and will advise friends against it
