Scrabo Golf Club

Extremely tricky course with a lot of hills. However, in brilliant condition and beautiful scenes

Course is in great shape played at 2pm not a lot playing around that time chance to take it at ur own pace and the view from some the holes is outstanding

If I played this course regularly it would be 5 stars. But for a Golf Now member who plays different courses this course is a tricky one to fully recommend. Why? Its one of those courses you need to play at least 5 times to know how to play it. It really is a brilliant course. Very hilly, very challenging, very well kept, amazing views and plenty of variety. But if you're not playing with a member and it's your first time then make sure you have a dozen balls with you. You'll realise after about 3 holes that you should take at least a club less off the tee. Particularly the par 4s and downhill par 3s. It's so punishing if you're evening marginly offline for the first 7/8 holes. I'll definitely go back because I want to try and lose less balls! I wasn't even playing that badly lol.

Lovely course in great condition. Quite a difficult course if you don’t hit them straight. Quite hilly. A lot of blind shots that you think you hit ok only to go over a hill and have no idea where your ball is. Scenery is spectacular . And a few more signs for next hole etc would be helpful. But great course and would definitely go back.

The views unreal! Staff were friendly and helpful. Gave good information on course especially some of the trick holes. Overall from start to end probably my best experience on a golf course. Definitely will be planning a trip to play again!

Great course, play it once a week and as much as it is a challenging and fun course, it is very hilly. Would definitely recommend a cart as the back 9 is very difficult after an already difficult round especially 15-18. All in all I throughly enjoy this course and 100% will be back often.

Lovely course with some stunning views. A definite challenge, and quite unforgiving if you stray too far from the short stuff. Greens were in great nick and running well. A thoroughly enjoyable round of golf. One word of caution, it is quite hilly, with the last few holes being a bit of a test on already tired legs. Might be worth investing in a buggy!

The views of Newtownards and quality of golf holes make for a very good value for money golf course. The course is very hilly which makes for some very fun tee shots, but also some very challenging tee shots as well, beware the elevation in holes does make for a tough walk around. Course is a little confusing to go around so if you have the chance to play with someone who has played the course before, or with one of its members, I would recommend going with them, fortunately for me, some of the other players kept me right showing me which way to go. Greens were quick for the time of year and the groundskeeping team should be very proud of themselves for the condition they have the course in. Would recommend anyone to play here who doesn't mind the tough walk, can't wait to play here again!

Lovely course that can punish you when you don’t hit the fairway, definitely stock up on balls before as it can new easy to lose a few! Greens and fairways both in great condition would play again without a doubt although next time around would make use of a buggy as the hills on the course will tire you out

first time playing scrabo, what a track! course in great condition, some unbelievable views. difficult enough course, rough is punishing so a few balls were lost. staff and members all very friendly and welcoming. will be back

If you can get a deal for this course, take it!

Ive played it many times & its a great test of golf.

I don't like short courses that's just go straight up and down, and this course is neither! Some long holes which is a good test and no hole the same! From up hill to down hill, dog rights, dog lefts. you have it all!!

We played it a few days ago and it was in immaculate condition, the best I seen the greens! So smooth and quick, how greens should be!

Definitely worth playing if you get a good price, havent played it recently as the price had jumped up so much but we got a great price on golfnow and jumped at it.

Definitely worth playing! 🏌️‍♂️👍

This course is truly a hidden gem. The views in all directions are amazing and the course is in very good condition, offering a challenging and rewarding round. A few helpful tips from the golf pro helped guide us on a couple of tees that may not be obvious to the first time player. Off the beaten path, it’s worth the effort. The club President, Captain, Vice Captain and Ladies Captain happened to be there and all came out to greet us after our round and took a photo of the 6 of us on the first tee box with the Scrabo Tower as the back drop (being from Colorado we were honored to have been so welcomed by this members club). They even posted the photo on their Facebook page! Recommend giving this course a try if you are in the Belfast area.

Would definitely recommend being fit or having a buggy. Very hilly, windy and rocky with specific local rules around free relief that you should read on scorecard. Brilliant views, challenging and great staff. Not a member but was still welcomed to grab a quick drink to cool down on a very hot day. Quite local to a family member who I will be visiting ore often just to play here!
