Course information

Founded on November 9th 1881, The Royal Belfast Golf Club is the oldest golf club in Ireland and its formation proved to be the inspiration for the growth of the game in Ireland. In 1925 the responsibility of golf course design and layout at the present location was given to H.C. Colt the eminent English course architect of the day, who also laid out the Royal Portrush course. With the assistance of Walker Cup player W.A. Murray, Colt produced a golf course of great charm which provides a true test of golfing skill and which has one of the loveliest settings of any in Britain with its unrivalled views of Belfast Lough and the Antrim plateau beyond. The golf course remains much the same today as it was then.

Stay & Play: The Culloden Hotel is about five minutes drive away away.

Golf World Expert Review

Royal Belfast is Ireland's oldest established golf club and somewhat surprisingly for a 'Royal' golf course you can tee it up for under £50 so first and foremost it provides decent value for money. Off the tee, you'll find plenty of room so you can afford to let rip with the 'big dog.' Mind you, your short game needs to be pretty sharp because there's plenty of potential trouble on and around the greens.
