One of the most scenic, breathtaking courses in Ireland with the mountains of Mourne as a backdrop. On a clear day, you can see across to the Isle of Man. This golf course offers a true test for all levels of golfers with its championship standard greens and many cliffs and canyons for good measure. The first five holes meander along cliff tops with the Irish Sea to the left. The second hole is a daunting par 3. Your tee shot must carry a cliff and canyon, and that’s the easy part of the hole. Ardglass is also renowned for its warm hospitality on and off the course. The Clubhouse was formerly known as Ardglass Castle, and this magnificent building is steeped in history and tradition dating back to the 14th century.

With views of the raw and beautiful Irish coast line from every hole and the Mourne Mountains providing the perfect back-drop, Ardglass has a true claim to be rated amongst the world’s greatest links courses, and epitomises the beauty of Ireland golf travel.
