Playing really well from tee to green. Greens are immaculate and not particularly fast so you can afford to go for putts. Highly recommend. Enjoy!

Course is in great condition

Great day out. Course in great condition from tee to green and is a fair test of golf. Only slightly spoiled because play was slower than normal due to it being captain's day. Pro shop friendly and helpful and did me a good deal on some balls. Will play again.

fun course

Really enjoyed the course, ate in the restaurant before going out, ladies were really helpful friendly and food was good and service was quick, really enjoyed the course the walk to the first tee through trees sets you up for the course, well laid out well presented and then you get to the eight to be greeted with fantastic views over belfast and the hills in between framed with the mountains in the background, really enjoyed the day, helped that I shot 2 over,

Just the four ball in front that nearly ruined it

Course in good condition, playing well. Greens a decent speed. No issues apart from the four ball of hackers that slowed proceedings up from the 6th right through to the 18th. The guy in pink shorts hitting everything straight to his right at a 90 degree angle and his mate who kept taking multiple practice swings with no club in his hand after each and every duff shot were particularly unpleasant. Not having the wit to let a two ball behind them play through was disgraceful.

Expected better

Went to this course with misplaced high expectations. Nearly every hole is straight. Very few deviations to this. Rough is ROUGH!!!!. Plus side great greens and good fairways. I've played better for less money. Try to keep your footwear clean as the air compressor has been stolen!
