Very slow play

Course in fantastic condition. Very slow play though. 4 balls would not let 2 balls play through . 5 hours for a 2 ball, waiting 10 mins at each tee box. Course over booked I think.!!

Spectacular Kilkeel at the foot of the Mourne Mountains

The course is beautiful and very well kept. The surroundings of the mountains and the sea are out of this world.

The course has challenging greens and a nice mix of tight fairways.

I’ll never forget playing, Kilkeel

Kilkeel Course review

The course was in a good condition for this time of year and a good challenge. It's great to play any time of the year & we look forward to returning. Excellent scenery & we encountered a red squirrel. The lady in the shop was very friendly and helpful

Lovely course in very good condition

Played for the first time and we all very much enjoyed it. Condition of the course was very good - lovely consistent greens. Felt the bunkers could do with some sand in them - very compacted and shallow.

Relatively wide open course and although all of our 4 ball ranged from mid-high caps no balls where lost. This, I feel helped all our 4 to score in the mid/high 30's in Stableford format, despite not knowing the course.

Staff very friendly and we enjoyed some food and beverages afterwards. Would not hesitate to return.
