Played on 12/08/23. Staff were welcoming and friendly. The clubhouse is very impressive inside. The course is a really enjoyable parkland with lovely water features throughout. The par 3s in particular are thoroughly well designed. The only downer to our visit was the pace of play was glacier like and the groups in front of us refused to let us thorough despite our group being smaller and in a buggy. Shame

Played here a few years back and enjoyed it's Links character. However upon arriving today we were informed that 6 holes were closed and temporary holes and greens were in play. I would have not made the trip if I had known this prior. On top of this it was a total lottery for visitors to navigate their way around due to the huge restrictions on the layout. Three young fellas in the Pro Shop literally couldn't care less when we confirmed our booking. I'm actually really angry how this turned out today and my opinion of the course has been forever altered. I don't understand why Golfnow can't give customers a heads up before you book instead of showing up to that sort of mess. I couldn't believe the condition of the course for a links given their propensity for being dry. My Advice to anybody looking to play here in the foreseeable future, call in advance to ask about the state of place.

Absolute gem this course. Even the majesty of the Dunluce links adjacent
didnt detract from our experience. £60 in the summer is a bit rich for my liking but winter golf here takes some beating. The Valley lLinks is worth a visit as a stand alone course

Course in fantastic shape considering the wet weather prior to us playing. Layout is lovely with some truly fabulous par 3s. Only gripe is that hole 17 had the tee boxes moved forward and I was looking forward to playing it longer. Paid €62 via Golfnow and likely that is the most I would be prepared to pay. Great experience wish the driving range was more convenient

Pleasantly surprised by the course and it's layout. Not overly long but some testing elements all the same. Course condition was very very good. Only a few areas wet under foot. Only blemish is the young fella in the shop literally couldn't care less about customers.

Lovely little course in beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately our round was ruined by a group of female players that didn't appear to care about safety as they narrowly missed us with two consecutive approach shots and didn't think to warn us. They then had the nerve to blame us for standing "in the firing line". Overall attitude towards visitors is poor.

Played at Ballyclare for the 1st time on 01/04/18. The pro was a really nice guy who told us the course was on temp greens. Which was disappointing. However he gave us a 2 ball voucher for another time which was a really nice gesture
