Hidden Gem

First time playing Helen's Bay last Sunday morning, lovely Autumn morning, small bit of rain, the course was in excellent condition considering the very heavy rain the day before, fairways are pristine, better than some greens in other clubs, and the greens, well, very unforgiving if you mis-read a putt, fast and challenging.

All in all can't wait to play this course again, with its superb back drop of the Antrim Coast as you head down the fairways. A must for any type of golfer, high or low handicappers. As with all course's I play, have respect for the course and the effort put into it by the ground staff and members. Enjoy

9 hole gem

A beautiful 9 hole course only a short distance from Belfast where the club and green staff are exceptionally helpful....as our four ball is made up of more mature golfers lol,Helens Bay suits us to a tee,the setting on the shores of Belfast Lough and the fact the course is so well maintained brings us back here on a regular basis...

Little Gem of a Course

Great course, greens were amazing, 2nd, 3rd and 6th are great par 4’s, Also several holes have 2 tee boxes the 8th is 200 yards par 3 on first 9, but 160 yards on second 9. Overall a very enjoyable round with fantastic views of Belfast Lough.

Enjoyable and friendly course

Really enjoyed our round here. The course was forgiving enough for us to enjoy it as a group of varied handicaps and as a nine hole course it was easy to pick up the layout second time round. We had beautiful weather and the views were stunning.

Staff were friendly and helpful, whether on the phone or in the clubhouse and members were also friendly and accommodating

We will definitely be back... thank you!
