A nice fair course!

I’ve been playing this course for a few years, the improvements they made a couple of years ago really helped bring it up to scratch with a new par 5 second hole and lovely short par 4 8th hole which are much superior to the previous layout. The course is manageable in terms of length with a few greens high handicappers should be able to reach in 2 but a couple of trickier holes mixed in to keep it fun, the greens are well kept and it is a scenic place to play golf.. I do think there are more challenging courses in the belfast area where you can play for a lower green fee and that their Sunday prices are way too high at around £25 for a green fee. These fees put the course towards the very expensive range for walk on green fees- you can play supposedly better courses for the same price at the weekend but you can get deals on GolfNow. Also they can be a little fussy about tee times if you rock up without booking even though the round is usually manageable and ok speed of play.

Castlreagh hills

Course was a bit wet in some areas which is not a surprise considering the rain lately but on the main very playable. You had to play of mats on the fairways which will benefit the course from the end of winter. No winter greens in use which was great although the tee boxes were the standard winter mats.still an enjoyable round on one of my favourite courses. Staff in clubhouse very helpful.

Castlereagh hills gc

Second time playing this course and score probably my best score in 2019. But card machine wasn't working in club house and we weren't told about temporary tees or greens. But other than that had an enjoyable day and will deffo be back in the spring time. Tee boxs looked great. Fairways played well with a few areas of standing water. Greens were rock hard but once you got the pace locked down they weren't to bad. Next to none ofcourse amenities. Which dropped my score. But all in all s good day out and my score reflected the conditions more than anything else. Back nine needs better signage for ease of access between holes.

First time back in a while, did not disappoint!

First time back for a year or so.

First course I played as a junior and it's been remapped with the 8th and 2nd swapping.

This isn't an overly long course just around 5500 yards off the yellows.

Some really tough holes like 4,8 and 13 with little room for error but plenty of more sympathetic holes with plenty of space to leak off to.

Course in great knick considering the heatwave, greens especially. Clubhouse still pretty meh with just the cafe upstairs but to be expected with a municipal course.

All in all, you will do well to find a better course for your money with views as good as this in and around Belfast.
