90% smashing

This course was challenging but very well designed. We had a few heavy down pours and a few of the greens had standing water on them making it almost impossible to putt, but the fairways were in excellent condition. We usually enjoy a meal and a pint after our round however they had stopped serving food by 6:40 when we got into the club house. All in all a great course, 8.5/10 and will 100% be back to play

Perfect weather
Walked

Excellent course - always made welcome.

I've played here many times over the years and it never disappoints. It's a fantastic course to play when the ground is wet elsewhere - never find this course soggy. Fantastic for winter golf especially.

Challenging, but scoreable if your game is on. Greens were excellent as always, albeit a little slow, but I suspect the amount of rain in the days before play contributed towards that. Fairways are firm and superb. My only criticism was the tee boxes. The grass was quite long (longer than I remember - so hopefully they are due a cut soon) and it made it difficult to get your tee length right at times. It's a small point and one no doubt that will be remedied over the coming weeks.

Pace of play is always good around here. Rarely do you find slow play. I love the layout in general - but one hole (par 3 near the end - 15?) feels like it's been thrown in to make up the numbers. I think the rest of the holes are excellent with some real crackers in there. Views are amazing from some parts. Be aware that this course is hilly in places and you know you've been through it by the end. I'm not surprised seeing quite a few buggies out there. It would not be an easy walk for those a little less fit or able. Overall I have always enjoyed playing here - I will be back. Your a credit to golf - keep it up

It's winter

For winter golf the course is fair enough, if you expect great fairways and greens your unrealistic.
Have played the course alot over the years all year round and it's excellent 5*

St.Patrick golf course

Good course which was in very good condition considering the amount of rain over the Easter week. Hats off to the grounds staff. Club pro was really helpful and friendly.
Some great views of the Mourne mountains and surrounding areas from the course. Will be definitely booking St.Patricks again, even though it's nearly an hour's drive for me.

A must play!

For those looking to fill a void in a Northern Ireland golf itinerary, a round here will not disappoint! Staff was friendly and accommodating, greens were better than Royal Portrush, Portstewart, Ardglass, and Ballyliffen, and at £20 the value was unmatched! I just hope my review doesn’t result in higher greens fees as I didn’t see a better value for my golfing $/£/€ on this trip from the USA.

Winter golf

Given its December the course played very well, pretty dry compared to most other courses. Again for time of year greens played pretty well. Well worth the money.
