Helen's Bay Golf Club

We arrived for our round 30 minutes early, but everything was closed. We could not get into the building or find a member of staff. So had to just start our round without score cards.

Well maintained 9 hole course on the shores of Belfast Lough, the course is short with no power five holes. As ground slopes down to the sea and therefore it's not as flat as some, but the hills are gentle. It is a very open course and whilst it's sparse trees can come into play, your ball rarely ends up in an unplayable position. Add some sunshine, this pleasant course with it's views over the Lough definitely has feel good factor. The outside perimeter holes are played in an anticlockwise loop, so make sure you control your slice, particularly at hole 6, as the out off bounds is a public beach.

Great course for beginners plenty of open fairways, very hard to lose a ball.

Very good value when booked with golfnow app. Course was immaculate and local players very friendly.

Absolutely fantastic course. Super greens and fairways s pleaser to hit and putt on. Tee boxs in excellent condition, and with only being s nine holes the tees were varied. Lovely views over the Lough and Helen's bay. No par 5s, club house vary dated and needs refurbished. Layout was good. Never got lost. Not a difficult course but with small fast greens you got to make sure your short game is on song. Very few on course amenities just a putting green, would need a driving net, etc. All in all an excellent experience and I will certainly be back.

Helen's Bay is a lovely little course, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it - it's not long by any means and nicely forgiving but if you want to get out for a quick 9 or 18 holes, I recommend it.

Third of fourth time round this course, always enjoy it! Still a beginner and 9 times out of ten ul find your ball. Course has some great holes and greens protected by bunkers. Get you clubs and get booked in this course will do any players game a bit of good. Would consider joining only the course is only 9holes but dont let that put you off booking

Fantastic little coastline course with great views and well manicured. Staff are helpful and friendly and very welcoming! A little gem and great value. A must play!

We played this course during a very hot spell, when there was a country wide hose pipe ban, and whilst the fairways in places were quite hard & brown in colour (not surprisingly), the greens were in fantastic condition. Having just taken golf up in the last few years, I thoroughly enjoyed playing Helen's Bay - fairways are reasonably wide (which suited me!!), and the views are brilliant.Hope to play the course again, soon.

fantastic day the course was in great condition the surroundings and scenery were beautiful will be back

Compact but well laid out course in great condition. No par 5s but don't let that put you off. Some brilliant tee shots. Very nice course and well worth a visit.

Played on a Sunday and the course was relatively quiet. Tight 9 hole course with great views over Belfast Lough.

The course itself was in great condition. Not too difficult off the tee but plenty of green side bunkers that make things interesting, I should know, I found most of them on my way round.

Definitely recommend playing here

Great 9 holes of golf. Course is in immaculate condition. Nice touch that the tee positions change completely on the back 9. Not massively long but long enough to be a good test. Well protected greens. If you've not played it before go and play it.
