Ardglass Golf Club offers one of the most breathtaking starts in golf, teeing off in front of the world's oldest clubhouse.

The first hole's unique two-tier fairway adds to the drama, with the higher layer being more reachable than it appears, setting the tone for an unforgettable round.The course is a hidden gem, with nearly every hole boasting spectacular views of the rugged Irish coastline and the Irish Sea. The wind ...

Scenic course with water views throughout.

It is truly gorgeous and the first tee is a unique setting. If the course was not on the water nobody would rate it high. It has several boring holes. The stretch of 1-3 and 10-13 is excellent. But the rest of the course is forgettable. The ranking even as a 4/6 is truly about setting and not about ...

Ardglass is a rugged links gem.

From the dramatic first tee shot (you must try it from the back tees!), the optical illusion of the second, and the punishing nature of some of the back 9, you're in for a treat at this course. As with all links layouts, the conditions will change the character of your round. We played on an unchara...

While to course layout itself is fun and at times challenging, make no mistake - you come to Ardglass for the views.

The stunning ocean vistas are available on every hole and it only gets better as the round progresses and you make your way to the turn and the far reaches of the course. Maybe it is because the first time I played here I went out as an afternoon single in rare warm and sunny Irish weather, but play...

Is it a work class links course, honestly no but is it one of the best looking courses I've ever played, yes. The club house is an old castle what more can I say. The first several holes are likely some of the best looking holes I've seen, the costal route around the course you take is a joy. This w...

When I entered the parking lot at Ardglass GC, I knew I was in for a treat.

The view over the 1st and 18th hole from the famous clubhouse enhances any pre or post-round pint of Guinness, making you wonder why this place isn't even more popular among golfers visiting Northern Ireland.I had the pleasure of playing the course with two tenured members who provided insights into...

I don’t like leaving reviews that aren’t full of high praise for courses, but I just came away from Ardglass more than a touch disappointed.

The grandeur of the clubhouse poised against the backdrop of the Atlantic close behind is an outstanding first impression of the course, and to be honest the scenery that follows you around the majority of holes is also 6/6, however, these were the high points of my visit.Having crushed a driver dow...

Whilst staying in the seaside town of Newcastle, Ardglass is only a short drive away and is an excellent addition to a trip to RCD.Ardglass isn't pure links, it's primarily cliff top golf although the course is set up and plays as a links course. Some parts of the course wander inland to more agricu...

Words can not convey the drama of the 1st tee shot at Ardglass.

With the Irish Sea crashing against the rocks to the left, the shadow of the 15th century castle clubhouse peering across the tee and the town surrounding the course beyond the boundary wall, this is a spectacle to rival any I have witnessed in world golf.The opening scene is not in isolation. Ardgl...
