Ardglass Golf Club

Played Ardglass on New Year’s Day. Bright, sunny day with a typical Irish Sea breeze.
The course offers some great par 3s, each with their own unique challenge.
It’s a compact course yet the fairways are forgiving. Highly recommended.

Fantastic course and great value for the 15 holes that were open

This is the third time I’ve played this course and it is the best condition I have seen it new bunker and tee blocks are great nice to see the money going back into the course

The secret is out: Ardglass is no longer a hidden-gem Northern Irish golf course. The quirky seaside routing with several cliffside holes continues to be tweaked and optimized by the welcoming membership, who are having to contend more and more with avid visitors. As a result, green fees are on the rise, but it’s frankly not much of a deterrent, as the world-class scenery the course enjoys will be well worth the expense for many faraway golfers.

Ardglass’ centuries-old clubhouse continues to be a wonderful spot for a post-round libation, although to gaze out over the links as the sun starts to set, thoughts of an emergency 9 will dance in many golfers’ heads.

Loved the course and layout but unfortunately the pace of play was a pretty big problem. Waited on every shot on the entire day playing in approx 4:45. Last round of 11 for us in Ireland and was the slowest without exception. Caddy’s on course were unable to assist in improving the pace. Strangely a group of 4 junior boys under the age of 12 were allowed to play the course alone which caused a great deal of pace issues. Loved the course location, layout and setting but pace of play ruined it for most of us golfers on this day. The course itself has two holes currently under renovation/construction, but this could have been acceptable if we would have been informed prior to play. Still would recommend the course to fellow golfers but should expect to experience a fantastic golf course that is being poorly managed.

Considering what a wet winter we’ve had, Ardglass played very well, with greens running fast and very little soaked spots or standing water.
Stunning views, friendly locals & members, good c’hoise facilities and food.
Probably the best £45 for 18 holes you could ever expect to play!
Highly recommended

Seemingly the whole island was under a blanket of fog....not Ardglass! Winter tees and a couple of winter greens but the course was in fabulous shape. Credit to the team! Members and proshop staff extremely welcoming too. We will be back time and time again!

Really great course and highly recommended

Coming from the U.S., links golf is a must. Linksy golf on cliffs is a bonus. This place has a lot of ocean views. The course isn’t overly difficult which is a nice pick-me-up. The history of the clubhouse and remnant of the original structure make it very cool to wander around in. I had fully planned on playing, even at the £160 rate but got on with GN for £96. Young caddie was very knowledgeable about the course. Pro shop, like most, was small but sufficiently stocked. Didn’t eat but the restaurant has a great view of the course/ocean. Definitely add this to your list. I am in Dublin and made the two hour drive each way and it was worth it.

Fantastic views of the Irish Sea on every hole. The oldest Club House on Earth is a Castle and served the best pint of Guiness I've ever had.

With a stunning setting on the shores of the Irish Sea and a view of the Isle of Mann and the Oldest Clubhouse in The World, Ardglass will not disappoint in golfing terms.
I likened it to a ski resort as the first hole elevates you to a plateau of Golf with some grand, good and great holes once you’ve got there, like a lot of ski resorts.
With stunning views throughout this is a course that can be enjoyed whilst offering enough of a challenge around the turn for the very best. A classic out and in course.
The clubhouse facilities were comfortable with a traditional seaside serving that won’t disappoint.
Glad I played it after hearing a lot about it.

Views around the course are spectacular but the course isn't in great condition. For a seaside course it was very muddy even for January
Plus be aware that 4 of the holes are closed and the first green is temporary, golfnow doesn't tell you we only found out when me arrived.

Me and a friend played the course on the 16th of September, thus being my first time ever playing it I was taken away by the views around the course they were spectacular, the course was in fabulous condition and was a good challenge to play and cannot wait to come back to play the course again

We lucked out finding this course after playing at Rosapenna .for 3 days
It was spectacular with holes along the Irish Sea
We are at the bar and food was delicious
This is a fishing village n fish was excellent
Recommend Burford Inn (across street) to stray
