Castlerock Golf Club - Bann

Very pleased with the overall day (price.course, and the weather)

Not an easy course but enjoyable and excellent value for money.... You need to be straight off the tee.. If not bring plenty of golf balls!

Really enjoyed the scenery.

The course is in excellent condition & credit to the course maintenance.

Will definitely be back soon.

Don't let this short yardage fool you into thinking this little jewel will be a pushover. Over 150 years old, the course record is only 5 under. Strong wind is prevalent most of the time, and you're playing up and down thru the links. Missed fairways and greens leave difficult recoveries.

Great 9 hole house. Couldn't ask for better views and the house was in excellent condition. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic 9 hole. Probably best 9 hole I've ever played.

Stunning views, course immaculate, blind tee shots, small greens it has everything. A hidden gem.

I just finished playing the course.I didn't realize there was 2 courses there. My golfnow reservation said 18 holes. Which lead me to believe it was a 18 hole course. It was only 9 and the guy said we could play it as many times that day . I don't think they have weed killer here because a lot of daisy like weeds in the fairway which helped disguise your ball . Pace was fantastic because no one was playing this . Very disappointed.

Great course tight and fantastic test of golf would highly recommend

We played this course on Sunday and it was in fantastic condition. Only fault we could find or complain about was hitting off winter matts at the par 3’s aside from that, a great day out getting ready for the season ahead. Tough tough challenge with narrow fairways, heavy rough and small narrow tricky greens all in great condition. We will definitely be back “the best value for £16 you will spend on a round of golf at this time of the year”

Myself and playing partner prebooked and arrived ahead of time. Long story short, a lot of people in front paying for bann course, my turn to book in and we are told everything good your first t. Get to first t, a 4 ball, a 3 ball, 2 4 balls and a 2 ball. We asked a few guys who said u don’t really need to book. 40mins later we t’d off. After a very enjoyable game Pro guy said “ what did you want me to do, I didn’t know”. He did know I watched him take everyone’s money then say to me your the first out. In a nut shell, pro shop not very professional. I didn’t really expect that much could have been done, but, come on, “ I didn’t know, nobody told me”. First impressions last, unfortunately this is my first and last time playing there.

Fantastic day out. Really enjoyed this course. First impressions was good, good big car park with large putting green, short range and chipping area. The tee boxs and greens were very well maintained as were the fairways which were lovely to hit off. I loved the tightness to the fairways which just added to the challenge. I only Hit driver twice all day which I enjoyed as each hole asked a different question from me. Value was good compared to other cheap course in the area. No bunkers, but this didn't hinder my enjoyment, the course was tough enough.

My only issue was that the shop assistant was not very friendly or helpfull. I had to ask where to go and were the range was and if I could buy range balls but very reluctant to help. Didn't dampen my experience but just a side note.

Great days golf, will be back soon, and will love to play the larger course at some stage.

Enjoyable round in fierce winds, tight fairways leading to small well protected greens and brutal rough, you need to be on your game playing this tricky small course.

Hidden gem. Most would associate Castlerock with the ‘also fantastic’ 18hole course, but the 9hole Bann course is also pristine in fairways and greens. Played on a Saturday afternoon with no delays.

Played it as a 9 hole warm up to the big course - Mussenden. Some decent holes, some that are short, but some large dunes that create dramatic views. Worth playing 9...not sure I would play it 2x for 18.
