Situated beneath the Mountains of Mourne, in a beautiful location in Northern Ireland, Royal County Down Golf Club offers one of the most spectacular golf courses in the country in its Championship Links Golf Course, and its Annesley Links sister course measuring in at just over 4,500-yards is a little gem, and the perfect warm-up round before the main event.
Championship Links - Royal County Down
18 holes, 72 par, 6968 yards. Links.With a picturesque setting in the Irish hills, the Championship Links Golf Course is one of the finest in the country. Desgned in 1889, by golf course designer Tom Morris, it has earned a great reputation for its challenging holes which will find even the top players struggling to make birdies.
The well kept fairways are a joy to play, and the strategically placed bunkers and quick greens make this a tough, but most enjoyable round of golf.
