Founded in 1889 and consistently ranked the world's number one course by Golf Digest, Royal County Down was shaped from natural duneland by Old Tom Morris, with the Mountains of Mourne and the waters of Dundrum Bay as backdrop. It has hosted the Walker Cup, the Amateur Championship, and golfers making the pilgrimage from every corner of the world. Find this legendary course steps from the hotel.

Founded in 1924 and set within the historic Kilmorey Estate, Kilkeel is a parkland course designed by renowned Irish architect Eddie Hackett, ringed by mature woodland and rhododendron shrubs with the Mourne Mountains visible from every tee. Only 12 miles from Royal County Down, it has served as a qualifying course for the British Amateur and Senior British Open — and plays like it.

Founded in 1896 on a craggy coastal headland, Ardglass clings to the Irish Sea from the first swing — eight holes where the water comes directly into play, with dramatic elevation changes and views across to the Isle of Man on a clear day. The clubhouse dates to 1405, making it the oldest in the world. Spectacular and completely unlike anywhere else you'll play in County Down.

Established in 1893 and set within the Hall Estate, in the shadow of Narrow Water Castle, Warrenpoint is one of the top parkland courses in Northern Ireland. The Mourne Mountains on one side and Carlingford Lough on the other. It has produced some of Ireland's finest golfers — Ronan Rafferty and Raymond Burns both developed their games here, going on to represent Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup.

Founded in 1881, Royal Belfast is the oldest golf club in Ireland and one of only three in Northern Ireland to hold the Royal designation.

Founded in 1888, Royal Portrush is the only course outside mainland Britain to have hosted The Open Championship — doing so in 1951, 2019, and again in 2025. The Dunluce Links, designed by Harry Colt and overlooked by the ruins of the 13th century Dunluce Castle, sits in a triangle of giant sandhills on the Causeway Coast, with views stretching to the Giant's Causeway to the east and the hills of Donegal to the west.

Founded in 1894 on a narrow peninsula just north of Dublin, Portmarnock is one of Ireland’s most celebrated championship links and a longtime host of the Irish Open. Its understated routing follows the natural contours of the land, with deep bunkers, firm fairways and the sea influencing play from nearly every direction.

Founded in 1890 and once accessible only by boat, The Island is one of Ireland’s oldest golf clubs. Set on a secluded peninsula north of Dublin, the course winds through towering natural dunes, with dramatic elevation changes, rolling fairways and unpredictable coastal winds creating a links that feels remarkably wild for somewhere so close to the city.
