Royal County Down Golf Club

Northern Ireland, Ireland

Overview

Royal County Down Golf Club located in Northern Ireland within the Murlough Nature Reserve, sandwiched between the magnificent Mourne Mountains and shores of Dundrum Bay. With such incredible natural surroundings, it is only fitting that the Championship Links is often ranked as the number one course in the world. Founded in 1889 and offering two courses, the club boasts tremendous history and has played host to numerous prestigious professional and amateur competitions over the years.

Such a highly regarded and sought-after golf club means that tee times are hard to come by, and we recommend booking at least 12 months in advance to avoid disappointment.
