I Recommend This Course
Charming golf experience, spectacular views of bay
This was a charming day of golf at Rory's home course. I felt like a member for a day. Very cool modern clubhouse with friendly members and staff. Everyone asks where you are from and how was your golf.
Course is parkland style with steep hills. A few breathtaking elevated tees. Almost all other fairways are steeply sloped sideways. Practice your sidehill lies!
Overall a charming and memorable day of golf! I also played Portmarnock Old Course, Royal Dornach, & North Berwick this week so Holywood was more of a local experience rather than a world class golf course.
