Great warmup for RCD Championship Links
First off, if you make the trip to play Royal County Down, don't skip Annesley Links. Recently renovated, this is a gorgeous course, intertwined with some of the holes of the more famous Championship Links at The Royal County Down Golf Club. With plenty of elevated tees and greens overlooking the Irish Sea, it's plenty scenic as well. And don't let the yardages fool you. It's plenty challenging,, and since you can't hit driver on every par 4, there's plenty of strategy, too.
