Kirkistown Castle Golf Club
Played On 07/07/2017Lovely members- beware the visitors!
Our first visit to this club and the reception in the pro shop and the clubhouse was extremely friendly. The course presents a true links challenge, particularly when the wind is blowing, with elevated greens and tees providing excellent seaside views. The course is fairly compact, meaning that there are no long walks between green and tee, but the downside of this is that balls struck from elevated tees in windy conditions can stray onto adjoining greens and fairways. Members know where to exercise caution, but visitors (of which there are many on seaside courses like this) don't. The people behind us drove through us on a couple of occasions (our 3 hour 15 minute two-ball round was hardly slow) and narrowly missed us while on the tee. Not the club's fault, but maybe something for them to think about when welcoming visitors in the future. We'd definitely recommend this course, though we might bring hard hats next time!
