Raceview, Ballymena Golf Club. Winter round.

Really enjoyed playing this course again. I grew up learning the game here but had not been back in forty years. The trees planted when I was a boy have grown well now disguising the flat nature of this course. The storms have taken a few though.

The layout is largely as I remember with some enhancements, greens and tees repositioned. Conditions were good on the fairway, greens like many inland courses are struggling with the long term wet weather. The Green keeping staff have done well to keep them this playable.

Friendly staff in the clubhouse. This is real value for money in the winter, summer too come to that. I hope to revisit several times over the summer.

Great course for winter golf

Course in great condition considering we had the worst rain this winter the day before, all the tee boxes were open as well as all the greens. Would highly recommend for winter golf best in the country as far as park land courses is concerned. Thumbs up from me 👍

Great day out in Ballymena hi!!

First time playing the course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Course was challenging without being too much for someone who's only back playing regularly after a couple of years away. Guy from pro shop rang to say he might have to nip out and that he would leave out our cards , which he did All round a great day and as Arnie said"I'll be back!!"😜😄
