Spa
Established in 1907, Spa Golf Club moved to its present location sixty years after its formation, when a new 9-hole course was inaugurated. This layout was extended to the current 18-hole configuration in 1989.
Playing to a par of 72 with an overall yardage in excess of 6,500 yards from the back tees, the Spa course at Ballynahinch is an engaging parkland track with a nicely balanced set of par threes at holes 2, 8, 12 and 17.
The last of these short holes, “Slieve Croob,” is a potential card wrecker so late in the round. The severe slope in front of the tiered green will repel anything other than a precise tee shot, resulting in an inevitable bogey or worse.
